Here we have a 18 size, Dueber, Open Face, 3-Hinge, Anchor & Serpent,    Gold Filled Case, with Case Paper. I've mounted the 3-Ball Movement [above] in it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

The Back has an Unusual Floral Engraving & looks like the same style as the Engraving on the Inside of Case.

The Anchor & Serpent Logo on Dueber Cases indicates the Case is Guaranteed to Wear for 20 Years.  

Engraving looks like it was Hand Engraved "Freestyle".

Possibly a "One Off" Job, made 'On Order', for a specific individual.  The 'Shield' on the Back has a faded inscription that looks like it says; "From, Ma", w/ decorations.

   Dust Cover has Wheat & a Bird (Chickadee?) Engraving, along with Owner's Name,     ( which looks like; "C.F. Votaw,  Camden Ind ) with some of the letters made of Wheat Stalks (the owner was most likely a Farmer).  This alone makes this Case unique as I've never seen a Dust Cover on any Cases I've looked at that was Engraved with more than just the owners name & date or a sentiment.  

Case Paper's were placed in all new Cases but few of them remain intact. This one's particularly well preserved, (because it was loose I put it into a plastic dial holder so it will remain 'well preserved').

Case has a type of Rope Edge Design. 

Sometimes called a Half-Hunter this kind of Hinged Open Face Case made it far easier to Set the Hands on a Lever Set Movement.
