Found these online, but no idea of a date of manufacture. Found on CW battlefield, but it's been continuously farmed ever since. Obviously, I'd love to think a soldier carried it. But have my doubts. Anybody know when they started turning these things out?

closest I can find online is a Pocket watch Fob listed as "Vintage" but not exact match.

unfortunately when it comes to religious medals, age is very hard to nail down
without using surrounding finds as a general idea.

I can tell you I have found well over a Hundred religious medals in one Spot.
a Lake where people Swam, & I'd wager the Majority date to WW2

I'm not sure if any of the other wars garnered as much religious Passion
as world war 2 seems to have caused.

Thanks Jeff! Appreciate the experience! This was found among many CW artifacts, but also very near an old farmhouse. As we all well know it could be almost any age. Thanks!
