Serial Number 17096436 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: From all I've read this movement, was considered
Railroad Grade, though maybe not Railroad
approved.
Curator Response: We currently have this range as being pendant-set, which would not be Railroad Grade. Could you verify if your movement is pendant-set or lever-set? Thanks.
