Serial Number 3887263 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Barrel bridge marked AT&Co, no serial number. From
run with CPR BB, so think factory put AT&Co BB on
this watch. Otherwise, correct.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If possible, please upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation and documentation.
