Nice finds! Does the 1909 wheat happen to be a v.d.b.? If so it adds some extra value.

 

[Goes4ever]

Nope, just a plain 1909

Cool Watch Fob, but they sure tried to capitalize on Lincoln there didn't they ! Nice always love finding early wheats here, never will get that 09 s or vdb here =D

Lincoln Life was founded in 1905. A near identical device was given as an award to an essay contest in 1912 by the Pittsburg Press. It had a round loop on the top. Evidently the foundry offered the same basic design as a watch fob for Lincoln Life. I would be inclined to believe the fob probably dates around that same time period. very cool find.

I found a website that has all the lincoln life medals/Fobs on it, and show this one dates 1912-1915

Interesting , you get the first year cent honoring the centennial of Lincoln's birth , you get the fob depicting Lincoln, and you get a button
that dates to the defining event of the Lincoln Presidency ! H'mmm ?
