this model can be seen in Ly's Ansonia book {2nd ed}, page 93, and features statues with marine theme, an oarsman and a female grappler. This model with Davies' improved, heavy cast bezel. With Davies rectangular movement, with Geneva stops [stops incomplete]. With a good old thin dome that tilts slightly to the right, also good barrel pendulum. Overall excellent condition. Ht 18"
