“Johanna Lups, geb. van (born in) Arnhem, 1768”

In very good condition, with just some light wear to the high points, mainly to the head of Diogenes.
The catch, catch button and hinge are fine and the bezel snaps shut correctly.
The small stud or thumb piece on the bezel next to the catch is missing, leaving a small pin hole.
