Other: sticker from the jeweler on 70 Pratt Street in Hartford. The name Lux Bond & Green was first used in 1933. A luxury box so assume it would have contained a diamond paved baguette on a gold bracelet.

Nice! I need to add the box that I bought recently too.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
