The case interiors are lined with yellow satin and royal blue velvet, featuring foil labels for Mueller & New Jewelers of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Accompanying tags include a Hamilton price tag for $49.50 and a 17 Jewels Hamilton tag. The collection also contains two cylindrical Speidel Golden Harvest watch band cases with one original gray cardboard outer box. The Speidel cases are constructed from cream-colored plastic with a spiral-fluted rope design and shell-motif end caps. The interiors feature turquoise velvet stamped in gold with the Speidel Golden Harvest logo. One case includes an original printed instruction slip and a manufacturer's tag for a 1/20-10 karat gold-filled top bracelet. Hamilton outer boxes: 4.5 inches wide Speidel cases: 6.25 inches long. The items are in good vintage condition. The molded plastic surfaces show minor surface scuffing but no cracks or chips. The interior velvet and satin linings exhibit light fading and wear consistent with age. The cardboard outer boxes show moderate wear, including edge rubbing, minor staining, and creasing.
