Description

An assortment of antique and vintage watch chains and accessories, primarily in yellow metal and silver-tone finishes. The collection includes a group of pocket watch winding keys secured on a silver-tone ball chain. These keys feature brass-tone decorative handles with foliate and scrollwork motifs and steel-tone winding barrels. Some keys bear stamped numbers such as 3 and 7. Also included is a yellow metal multi-strand watch chain, likely gold-filled, featuring three strands of fine foxtail or woven chain. This chain includes a decorative slide set with one white and two red accent stones, and is fitted with a T-bar, a small spring ring, and a swivel clasp. A yellow metal curb link watch chain is present, featuring a long U-shaped vest hook at one end and a swivel dog clip at the other. Additional items include a yellow metal cable link chain with a swivel clasp and a large spring ring, a yellow metal chain with flat rectangular links and a swivel clasp, a yellow metal chain with elongated, textured patterned links, and a fine silver-tone box link chain with a spring ring clasp. Indistinct marks are present on several swivel clasps and T-bars but are illegible due to wear.
Measurements and weight: Not available.
