The name imprinted on the back but the Royal Bonn firing marks are inside the case. There are the red numbers, "44.844, 5810, 170", and imprinted numbers fired into the case, "L8, 2886". No red crown, FM, or 1775, that we usually see on these cases. This is a large case at 14.5 inches high, 10 inches wide, excellent colors and a goodly amount of gold. Sea shell on a lions head, on top, same on the bottom. Dippy do open arches on the side columns. A very stylish case. Movement is 8 day, cathedral gong strike, and open escapement on the 2 piece porcelain dial. Dial with hairlines that would clean in an ultrasonic, beveled glass. No chips or cracks. Ly-Ansonia, page 635 several examples of this clock.
