Egyptian something or other?

[shvlnflds]

Slightly bigger around than a seated liberty half dollar. I think it is copper.

I think thats from an early 1900's Egyptian Revival watch fob. Is there a piece broken from the top? Its in my 1909 Sears Roebuck catalog.

Thanks a lot, that would be it. At least now I know what it is.

Is it worth anything?

I dont know the value but its part of a 100 year old watch fob. You must consider that its broken and incomplete. The plating is gone. It may be worth something to somebody if presented properly but I would just keep it as an intereseting find. Heres the 1909 Sears ad. "The latest craze."

Thanks. A lot of guys/gals know their stuff here. I was just the first to see it.

Cool find and nice ID

Based this link a complete watch fob in undug condition would be worth $225. Not sure what that would value your find pawinground

Even with rate of inflation would have been a very nice return on investment
