Serial Number 3724527 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Should be shown as RAILROAD GRADE
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Illinios Grade 107 was not adjusted to five positions, and thus, not widely accepted on American railroads at the time. However, it still would have qualified for some railroads. This is the reason the information lists "Railroad Grade" as "Limited Approval."

Note: This watch has 21 jewels and is a railroad grade
by definition
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. There were many more requirements for a watch to be accepted into railroad service in addition to the jewel count. "21 Jewels" does not immediately qualify the watch for railroad service.
