Serial Number 3098440 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I just noticed the database says it is a Riverside
grade, but the movement is marked Royal. Please
see the movement image.

Serial Number 3098440 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I just acquired this watch. The movement is
identical to SN 3098461 and is marked as Royal,
not Riverside (or Special). Hope to post pictures
soon.

Serial Number 3098461 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement is stamped AWWCo ROYAL. Complete Price
Guide shows, under size 16:
Royal, 13-15J, M#1872...
I note that the movement has the same lay-out as
your illustration, yet is very plain, and no
center jewel, thus the 13j rather than than the
15j.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. Without the center jeweling, the movement is consistent with the 15-Jewel designation. (2 Balance Hole Jewels, 2 Balance Cap Jewels, 1 Impulse Jewel, 2 Pallet Jewels, 2 Pallet Hole Jewels, 2 Escape Hole Jewels, 2 Fourth Wheel Hole Jewels, and 2 Third Wheel Hole Jewels).
