Note: This particular pocket watch is lever setAnd
should be graded railroad grade
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Waltham serial lists do not explicitly designate this run as lever-set. However, if your watch is a lever-set Crescent St., it would have qualified for railroad service.

railroad grade
