I picked this up from a guy who said it was placed in the attic in 1961 with a sheet thrown over it. The house is now being cleaned out and guess what was still under a sheet in the attic. All original missing back plate and door.

pity that it is not the right mechanics.

The mechanism in this Lion Head is from the old Operator Bell line which were all 10 stop. It is possible that Mills did produce some with left over old Operator Bell mechanism. Also has the wrong award card I believe.
