The brass baseplate is stamped with MADE IN FRANCE, a manufacturer’s mark consisting of an anchor flanked by the letters L and M, and the serial number 354024. The recording chart is printed in French, indicating days of the week such as DIMANCHE and SAMEDI. The instrument is accompanied by a brass winding key and a removable drum cap.
