Great day. What is it?

[relic nut]

Went to a new spot today with a friend. What a view!
Found some CS bullets, some pistol balls and a small plated buckle. Also found what I think is a suspender clip.
The find of the day for me is this, it is made of brass and seams to be hand made. After cleaning it looks like a # 9 on it. It has small leather strap with buckle on it. The leather is in real bad shape. Dont know if it is CW. Would the leather last that long? Any help would be welcome. May post on what is it later if need be. Thanks for looking. RN

Looks like a watch fob to me, not sure how old. leather can last a while though I found some leather shoe parts at an old cellar hole site, also found mid-1800s coinage nearby.

Grasshopper is correct, it's a fob.

Grasshopper is correct, it's a fob.

Do you think it could be CW. It was found at a known CW site.

Sorry can't help you there...no CW stuff for us Yanks up here My guess (and that's all it is) would be 1900s. Someone here should be able to give you a better date if you post a better pic of it.

Agree...prob watch fob. Remember, some of the CW vets lived into the late twenties if I remember correct....seldom do though.

Looks like a luggage tag maybe. Unless it was underwater or in very dry conditions, such as it was suggested in a cellar, I doubt if it is that leather is that old.
