Serial Number 4575227 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: My previous submission in 2013 was not correct.
The Illinois "A.Lincoln" grade 527 is a "3/4
plate" movement not a "bridge plate" as stated in
the description and shown in the movement drawing.
I checked the 1928-29 Hamilton-Illinois catalog on
line at the NAWCC site and the movement is 3/4
plate like mine. The drawing is the "Autocrat" 17j
12s which is a bridge plate movement. All the rest
of the information is correct.
Thanks for all the great work you folks are doing
here! The database has really grown in size and
information at an amazing rate in just a few
years!!
