HUNTING- 
CASED 
WATCHES” 
(The qualities and resemblance of this new metal are such, 
compared to gold, that even judges are deceived) and 
“ROSKOPF’S Patented PEOPLE’S WATCH.” 
trade The Improved Bronze Aluminium 
of which my watches are made is a 
metal differing entirely from any ever 
offered to the public. It has seriously 
occupied the attention of Scientific 
u men, and has not only called forth 
o the eulogiums of the press in conse- 
f° quence of its peculiar properties, hut 
lias also obtained a Gold Medal at the 
Paris Exposition, and even been fa¬ 
vorably noticed by rescript of His 
Holiness Pius IX., authorizing its use 
MAKE. in the manufacturing of Church goods. 
The qualities of this metal are such that it is surpassed by 
none, it we except gold itself, and that only on account of 
the intrinsic value of the latter. Further details will be 
found in my circular, which will be sent postpaid on demand. 
My watches are made of three sizes, all hunting-cased— 
one small for ladies or lads, ami two for gents. The move¬ 
ments are well finished, carefully put together by skillful 
workmen, and perfectly regulated. I can therefore warrant 
them excellent time-keepers. These goods being manufact¬ 
ured in my own factory, I am enabled to sell any of the 
above sizes at the extremely low price of $16. None genuine 
unless hearing my trade-mark as above. A full assortment 
of all kinds of chains always on hand.
