Two of the diamonds weighed, | | together, 1, 1/2, and 1/3, and 1/16 carats, and the other, a | | flat stone, showing nearly a surface of one carat, weighed | | 3/4 and 1/32. All three were mounted in skeleton settings, | | with spiral screws, but the color of the gold, setting of | | the flat diamond was not so dark as the other two. | | | | A REWARD of $1,500 will be paid for the identification and | | recovery of one of the watches, being the Gold anchor | | Hunting-case Stem-winding Watch, No. 6657, 19 lines, or | | about two inches in diameter, made by Ed.
