Norman, are you sure it is a Keystone case? I had a case signed Olympic on a Swiss Fake (I recall it was a "Hamlet") and I thought it was an American made case but it had no other markings. It was brass and gold washed or very thinly plated. As a testimony to quality the case still worked fine but the watch was a boat anchor.

Hi Deacon,It's a Philadelphia case,well marked with their logo.I don't guess the gold content is that important.It's a very nice case housing a great running G.M.Wheeler.Regards.Norm

Nice looking watch, and as you know a 18sz H/C in a gold filled Philadelphia case of 10-14K gold filled material.
