Serial Number 855647 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The watch is labelled "The Farringdon Reg.d" on
the dial and movement. The movement is also
labelled "Made in U.S. America".
"The Farringdon Reg.d" was the registered trade
mark of John G. Murdoch & Co. based in Farringdon
Road, London.

The case is labelled with the import mark and the
year mark "n" in the version that was used in
Birmingham from July 1887 to June 1888.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The database has been updated accordingly.
