Research Note: #594115: Verified as a gilt movement with an appearance similar to the Grade 33 (Model 3). However, Seth Thomas material catalogs designate this serial block as Model 6, inconsistent with the Grade 33 classification. The 7-Jewel movement produced in the Model 6 form was classified as Grade 36, but it was always described with a nickel finish. For this reason, the database run has been classified as "36G" to signify it is most similar to a gilt version of the nickel Grade 36 movement. This is also the last known run of Seth Thomas production to feature a gilt finish.
#594088: Verified as 11 or 15 jewel movement (top plat only).
