I think Sturdy was one of Gruen's go-to bracelet makers for some time (along with Kreisler, B&N, Wadsworth, and more). I have a "Mesh 23" from the 1929 catalog, and it too is a Sturdy.

I'm hoping that Mike B. will be able to get the bracelet section of the Master Book into a manageable and distributable format one of these days.

And I agree with Thojil that the ribbon and expansion bracelets were the only attachments that were original equipment. Although I believe some sets also had a chatelaine or pendant attachment too. But judging from the layout of this box, it looks to me like only the ribbon and expansion ones belong.
