It does not say "Premier" and the plate where the
two larger gears are is not one piece. Also the
tiny spring, maybe its an adjuster of some sort is
shaped very differently from these. These ones are
sort of "T" shaped and the one I have is more of a
loop on top with a pointer underneath.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
