Bidspirit auction | Antique Watch Chain Lot, 14
Antique Watch Chain Lot, 14 Pieces Mixed - A large estate lot of fourteen vintage pocket watch chains, or ”fobs,” in a mix of yellow and white metal finishes, none showing visible karat or sterling hallmarks in the photo and therefore described as gold-tone and silver-tone base metal. The group includes classic curb-link, snake, and cable-link chain styles, with a variety of spring-ring clasps, dog-clip hooks, sliding T-bars, and ring-style attachments typical of Victorian and early 20th century watch chains. Construction and wear vary piece to piece; several show light surface scratching and finish wear consistent with age and handling, with no major breaks or missing links noted in the photos. A useful lot for collectors of antique menswear accessories or chain-and-fob assemblers looking to build out a display.
