Richelieu Design Patents

Recently I found 46 design patents that I suspected belonged to the Joseph H Meyer Bros company who made Richelieu jewelry. While neither the Joseph H Meyer Bros company, nor Richelieu are mentioned in the patents, they are designs by Maximilian C Meyer, who according to a NY Times article from 1941 was the President of the company. Today I received an adverstisement from 1942 that confirms at least some of the patents! Here is an example of one patent, shown with a cut out from the ad of the item that matches.
