I now have this family heirloom that I would like to know more about. Family lore suggests that it’s used with a pocket watch. It is 14 cm long and the barrel is just 1.9 cm wide .
It is cold to the touch, like stone. One bead is split in half. Does it have any serious value? Thanks for your time.Article contentYou are in for a surprise with this souvenir watch fob. Fobs provided decoration and clipped onto the chain of the watch hidden in the vest pocket. The bar fits through a button hole to anchor everything. It is stone – a form of gypsum – called satin spar and the metal is gold plate.
