🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Military Watch Fob?

[SIPridgeDIG]

I've dug what I believe is a solid brass watch fob. The only info I've found is that the uniforms seem to match the Navy Sailors during the 1898 Spanish-American War. It cleaned up super well. Is it a military service item or just a commemorative piece? Any background about it will be appreciated.

Nice find! I have a couple of fobs with military themes but I've never seen that one! Not issue, maybe PX gift shop item?
