not be deemed to be a second-hand watch for the purpose
of this Act, if such person keeps a written or printed record
setting forth the name and address of the consumer, the date
of the sale to the consumer, the name of the watch or its maker,
and the serial numbers (if any) on the case and the movement
of the watch or other distinguishing numbers or identification
marks, the aforesaid record to be kept for at least three years
from the date of the sale of the watch and to be open for inspection
during all business hours by the State's attorney of the county
