Found this old fob a few days ago. It is from a motorcycle and bicycle shop in NJ. Carolina Tom was very jelly!

Neat find. I don't know the history of "EXCELSIOR" motorcycles, but that might be worth $$$ to a collector...................Rich

Hi Todd, just saw an American pickers episode where Mike bought an excelsior bike or motorbike not sure now but I am sure he would be a ready buyer of that item. Worth a shot anyhow.....Joe McDonough

It wasn't a cheap buy either, if I remember right it was a rather rare find. Your fob may likewise be pretty collectible as well. Nice one!

Looks more like a watch fob from the Garden State Cycle Co. in Camden, NJ--who happened to have sold Excelsior, Indian and Haverford cycles from their store at 1203 Broadway in Camden, NJ a hundred years ago.
