Note: My model 1888 Grade 24 is marked as being 15J
Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. It appears the "15 Jewels" is a post-factory marking (not consistent with original markings). Records indicate this run features 11 Jewels. If you are able to check under the dial, I believe you will find the opposite side of the train is not jeweled, resulting in 11 Jewels total.
