Serial Number 576079 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 15 jewels right on the movement. Also, this one is
a private label. Haller's standard Ann Arbor Mich
Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. The private label marking has been noted for this run. The "15 Jewels" marking is not consistent with Illinois production at the time, and the 15-Jewel movements typically feature screw-set plate jewels. Is it possible to verify the jewel count by checking under the dial? Thanks!
