Serial Number 26032 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: According to the serial number production dates
published in Renaissance Watch Repair, the
manufacture date of this watch is closer to 1878.
Also, Rockford began production in mid 1876.
Since the serial number is 23062 and the numbers
began at 1, it is unlikely that 23000 watches were
produced in 1876.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Regardless of source, production dates are estimated extrapolations and should only be assumed to be accurate within +/- 3 years. Also, Rockford pre-assigned serial blocks for production. Therefore, actual production did not occur sequentially, making it more difficult to pinpoint production dates, especially early in the company's history. It is safe to conclude serial number 26,032 was not the 26,032nd movement produced by Rockford and was likely manufactured between 1876 and 1879.
