Not a great pic (sorry) but this was from a 1971 full set that HQ Milton sold some years ago.

Mine is exactly the same as this, with the "Antimagnetic" wording instead of the OP's "And antimagnetic escapement." Similar serial number. Purchased as a full set from the estate of the original owner.

There’s an old adage that with things like these cards, smell them: Does it smell 50 years old? Musty? Musky? Smokey? Stale? There’s a lot of truth in what can be discerned that way.

The sniff test is a good idea.
A Google image search suggests that both versions of the "antimagnetic" wording are found. #HeadScratch |
