Note: After closer inspection the shape matches the AI
model but the sn doesn’t start with AI and it is
not labeled Ideal
Curator Response: The model "AI" designation is derived from factory classification conventions. These movements were not marked with the prefix like the larger grades, and it is not expected to have one. The lookup information does not imply anything about "Ideal." This run is recorded as marked "Standard U.S.A."
