Serial Number 848838 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I believe the model designation is incorrect. It
is not 1870-12 (meaning 12-size based on the 1870
model 14-size). This 12-size KW movement is
based on the 10-size 1874 model. Otherwise it
appears to be correct.
Curator Response: Thanks, Jerry. These models have been refined and updated accordingly.
