A one-month pass to all ads on this entire site is $10....Those with "paid access" to other ad search sites may be able to access this site through their "other" service.  None of mine work for Boston.com.

Found about ten ads for the LaFayette from 1930-1931, all the same as this Dec. 1931 ad, but this is the best res. No mention of jewel count, gold colour or content.
