Cyclone

An 1893 Keystone Watch Case Co. catalog describes the Cyclone case grade: "Such people are suited to a T in the Cyclone case - a good, serviceable, long-wearing case in the yellow metal, and yet at a price that puts it within the reach of all. It is made of an outside layer of solid sold soldered on a plate of composition metal, which has a heavy electro-plating of gold, by special process, on the inside."
Some original wholesale catalogs list the Cyclone case in the 10K Gold-Filled section despite being a rolled gold plate case, as described by the company.
