Serial Number 3634312 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This is not my watch, but it is currently for sale
on eBay by The Watch Preserve. I believe they are
a Pocket Watch Group member. The information seems
to be at least mostly correct. I see no markings
indicating this is a Wm Ellery “subvariant”.
Everything else seems correct. It caught my eye
because I have not seen many KW/KS Model 1883s.
