Other Details

 

NOTES:  The ads for the Bruce do not show an engraved bezel.  Otherwise, this case looks just like the Bruce and has all the same measurements (see listing for 1951 Bruce).  However, G-S Crystal Catalog No. 52 does list one other model as taking the same crystal as the Bruce, and that is the Kenmore, for which we have no ad.  So, there is some possibility that this engraved model was actually called the Kenmore.
