Serial Number 203701 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Grade: 169
Jewels: 17j
Variant: Providence
Movement Markings: Providence, R.I.
Adjusted
Safety Pinion

Curator Response: This is a tricky one. I consider this closer to a Grade 182, considering the traits and consistency with the 182 at the time of production. The Grade 169 was not introduced until much later and was unadjusted.

Changes since this report was submitted:

Grade changed from 204 to 182
