Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 11:15 am Maybe that is an older type bezel. Press-fit instead of held with a screw. Neat find Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 11:28 am Yeah no screws,Appears it was just pressed in place then plated.The pictures do not show very well but it does have a gold tone to it.Weighs 3.5 grams. Simple & cheap jewelry for the 40's and 50's era. Report this Post to the Staff
