How Watch Cases are Made. 
A plate of SOLID gold 14 2-10 karats 
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of 
hard nickel composition metal, and the 
three are then passed between polished 
steel rollers. From this plate the various 
parts of the cases—backs, centers, bezels,etc. 
are cut and shaped by dies and formers. 
The gold is thick enough to admit of all 
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine¬ 
turning. The composition metal gives it 
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while 
the written guarantee of the manufacturers 
warranting each case to wear twenty years 
proves that it contains all the gold that 
can possibly be needed. This guarantee 
is given from actual results, as many of 
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth 
by years of use without wearing through 
the gold. Dubuque, Ia., Dec. 14,1880. 
I have used one of your James Boss’ Gold Watch 
Cases for seventeen years. I bought it second-hand 
and know of its having been used before I got it, 
but do not know how long. It looks good for ten 
years longer. Did not suspect it was a Med case 
until so informed by a jeweler a short tune since. 
I most cheerfully recommend your cases to be all 
they are represented to be, and more.
