1949 Ladies Bulova watch, A9 date code on outside of case back. 10K Rolled Gold Plate bezel, stainless case back. Case measures 16.5mm not including crown, by 27.mm lug to lug. Cream dial with gold Arabic indices, no seconds hand. Dial has an outer minute track. Speidel bracelet with 10K Gold Filled top caps, stainless backs. 17 jewel movement with J9 date code, 6BK inside rectangle.
It does look similar to the Violet model in that ad, but this one has a Speidel bracelet instead of a cord (which could have been changed out at some point). Is that ad from 1949 or a different year? Maybe the Violet had slight changes over the years. The dial, numeal indices and hands in the ad match the ones on my watch.

Bryn Mawr was the first institution of higher learning in the United States to offer graduate instruction to women; men were first admitted to the graduate program in 1931. Under the leadership of Martha Carey Thomas (president from 1894 to 1922) the standard for the education of women rose dramatically.
