watch fob...first I,ve heard of such a thing.....I,m such a newb still.


did you mean the horse ?

 

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

Yes the horse, a watch band to a pocket watch would go through the hoop thing.
Like the stock photo bellow. None of them toys, all medals of some kind...

Keep @ it and HH !!

Yeah pic2 is a fob for sure, 1st pic of the boars head in the garter possibly a military cap badge, maybe just a family crest( Scottish origin) 3rd pic may be a brooch,
Good finds just the same

COOL STUFF !!!

any idea on the age of these items

I was thinking possible hat badge too on that one. The horse depending on it's size might also be harness decoration.

many here. https://www.google.ca/search?q=hors...1#q=horse+harness+decorations&tbm=isch&imgdii=_

I agree on the Scottish or Irish family crest--very cool in any case.

Found this about the boar's head clan badge...."The words "Vix ea nostra voco" are Latin and associated with the Scottish "Campbell" name as well as many other clans and families. The phrase means "I scarcely call these things our own". The motto relates to the principle of stewardship, that we don't really own anything, we just look after what we have throughout our lifetime." The horse head key fob is cool, as well as the Victorian era "Cat and Lizard" brooch. Great finds, Sub
