Serial Number 1190631 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: The watch mechanism is marked grade 227. The face
is labeled "Studebaker". Not sure if factory or
replacement face.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The Grade 227 is expected to be fitted with a "South Bend" dial, so it is likely a later replacement.
