How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
