In AMES BOSS' PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, tiiis waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and sinUN'OTH produced iit frdtrt one-third to one-half of the Usual cost of solid Cases. This process is of the mostsimple nature, as follows a plate ti nickie composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of Sdi.fi) gold soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
