For ref. [[Reference:6744|6744]], Christie’s dates case 3,625,979 to circa 1974. Antiquorum dates case 3,760,425 to 1974 but gives the joint attribution 6744/6751.

For Cellini-labelled ref. [[Reference:3735|3735]], Fortuna dates case serial 1,809,871 to circa 1968; the number falls within Pergola's 1968 band (1,720,977–1,938,064).
