The sur phis g'old is actually needless, so far as utility and beauty are concerned. In ” GOLD .f AMES BOSS' PATENT WaTOII CASES, this \VA .TK<»f precious mtt tal is overcome, and thesAMK solidz ty ani> strength half produced the usual at from one- of third to one of cost solid cases. This jn-ocess is of the most simply nature, as follows: a plate of nickle composition metal, specially adapt¬ ed to the purpose, has two plates of soi.m gold soldered one oil each side. The throe are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy p 1 sited composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, Ac., are cut, shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these case is suffi¬ ciently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing*, engraving and enamelling: the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
