Lots of Trinkets

OldNBroken · Jun 16, 2010

Was an odd day today. I ended up digging up more items than coinage today. That's never happened before. Along with another 5 hotwheels cars (getting quite a collection) Here is a picture of the more interesting items. Ugly looking silver ring (9 grams) was the best find, and some wheats

Was wondering if anyone could tell me what the chain is. It's pretty sturdy and well built. the links taper from small at the ends to larger in the middle. It seems more utilitarian than fashion but I don't know. It looks familiar to me but I can't think of from where. Any help on it?

LOOKS LIKE A CHAIN FOR A POCKET WATCH!!! Oops sorry for the caps i just knew what it was!!!

It is for sure a pocket watch chain. The bar would slide into a button hole.

On this one there is a "watch fob" attached.

By Golly it is. Thanks all. Doesn't look like any precious metal but it is heavy and very well constructed. That's what intrigued me about it.

It had to be because you were taking it in an out of your pocket all the time besides it was harder for someone to steal it with a heavy chain on it!

Do you know what the Silver item is with the letter 'R' is? I believe it went on a decanter bottle... Is there any hallmarks on it? Looks 100+ years

Was going to clean it up and look at it but had some takeoffs I had to get done and forgot. Only thing I noticed is an R engraved on the front crest. Will clean it up this evening and look closer at it.
