Serial Number 19053391 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The movement is nickel with gilt screws and trim
pieces and lettering. It is adj4p but has a brass
escape wheel, while it might pass trolley service
standards since all RR stds that still allowed
adj3p for RR service still required a steel escape
wheel during the time this watch was produced.
