It will he apparent to any one, who 11 examine a Solid Gold Watch, thill aside from the accessary thickness for engraving and polishing a large propor tion of tho precious metal used, is nee ded only to stiffen and hold the engrav ed portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as utility and bounty arc concerned. In James Boss’ Patent Gold Watch Cases, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one-third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple na ture, as follows: A plate of liiokle (omposition metal, espenially adapted lo the purpose, has two plates of solid gold soldered or each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the eases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut apd shaped by suitable dies and for mers. The gold Jn these eases is suf ficiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling ; the engraved eases have bqeu curried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gqld. This is the only case made with two plates of Solid Quid and warraulpd by special certificate. For sale by all Jewelers.
