this model can be seen in Ly's Ansonia book {2nd ed}, page 92, and features two young hunters in colonial dress, the girl with a pheasant and the boy with a rabbit, statues with verdi green finish. Note this is an earlier model with spun bezel and the little cast brass trim for the top is just setting there for the foto; easily attached. Dial has been re-covered with a paper replacement.
