✅ SOLVED Chinese Dragon Thing

[Noah_D]

I found this today at a 1900 house. Any idea on what it is/what the writing says or how old it is? It's about the size of a half dollar.

Thanks!

Here are some better pics:

Could you clean it up a little and take photos of the writing you are referring to. Japanese Dragons have one more toe on front legs than Chinese if I remember right.

 

[Noah_D]

Yep, you can see the writing if you zoom in but I'll get you some better pictures in the morning.

I'll PM Yang Hao and see if he can't help once we get better pictures.

It looks like a Chinese dragon to me and so with the writings. It's a Chinese treasure I guess.

Goldielocks, The dragons can be drawn either way, but for the most part it Chinese 4 toes and Japanese 3 toes on the front feet.

Noah D, Is there anything on the back?
Very Cool find and I'm sure it's Chinese although I can't help with the translation.

It's a listing on ebay. Chinese motif watch fob. Stamped ABZ Co.

I searched for ABZ Co at the turn of the 20th and came up empty.

I believe the style of the fob is teens or 20's.
