Serial Number 224345 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Model five is considered railroad grade based on
Geo. Townsend book, American railroad watches
1977
Curator Response: Many of the Seth Thomas Model 5s are indeed railroad grade, but certainly not all of them. There are several runs that contain 7 jewels and others that are not even adjusted.
