Anyone know model name, production year, what 3/0 means on inside case? Anything else?

James:

3/0 is the movement size.

The model name could be "Tivoli" as marked on the inside of the case.

Thanks Buster, will print that out.

Here is the description from the book. Hope you can read it.

The book says this model was produced in 1920.
