Gruen Authority

Not quite right. Rathbun molded plastic for several case makers, also for the Star Case Co from NY. It looks like the Star Case Co was sole or at least main supplier of watch cases to Gruen in the 20s, probably even earlier, until about 1936.
Prior to the plastic ones which were first introduced 1931, Star made wooden and leather cases mainly and continued to work with leather and wood at least until late 30s. It is also likely that they made the nice parts cabinets.

Gruen, Gruen, Gruen ist alles was ich habe... Gruen, Gruen, Gruen is all I have...(German folklore song)
