Serial Number 388334 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Curator: s/n looks like 388334 grade 112, although
serial is hard to distinguish, could be 368334
which would fit a 112. Private label. Thx

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Yes, I beleive the serial number is "368334" which would correlate to a run of Grade 112 movements.

Serial Number 388500 was reported as inaccurate.

number is 388500 last of the run.
