Serial Number 75616 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Only one complete movement. Total of five made other four are incomplete. It is a two finger bridge half-plate movement. For Hayden Wheeler movements you are using the total production of 1800 within this production there are 8 basic designs. See the NAWCC Bulletin articles authored by Lasser.

By the way, even number serials for Hayden W. Wheelers are open face movements and odd serial numbers are hunters and there are no lever set movements that are lever set movements. All pendent set movements are positive set - all movements require four footed dials.
