Serial Number 867954 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: My movement is marked "867593" and "Fogg's
Patient". Dial is unmarked. The case is marked
with "AM Watch Co. Waltham Mass Warranted
Sterling Silver S5". The Gray Sheet specifies the
grade as "Special" not "Home". Any thoughts in
this regard. Thanks.
Curator Response: The Waltham "Gray Book" serial list often conflates similar grades into larger serial block. However, the factory serial ledger designates this run as "Home" (Home Watch Co.) Grade and "Nameless" (not marked with the grade name). This is consistent with the images you have provided.
