Does anyone know what KLCO that’s on the front of this watch fob stands for? I can’t find it. Or is there a place I should look to identify it? Thanks for any help You can be!!! Happy Hunting!!!
It was found in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
On back:
Pretty sure it’s Whitehead Hoag Co.; Newark N.J. Below that. Can’t make out anything else

There was a KLCO AM radio station in 1953, broadcasting out of Poteau, Oklahoma.
The station is currently on channel 1280 kHz, with Call Sign KPRV.

I sort of doubt that's it (the "Co" probably means "Company").
But, I noticed in your signature that you're located pretty close to where this station broadcasts.
Coincidence?

When I look at your watch fob I see an approximate date range of 1905 - 15... it looks early to me. :icon_scratch:
Is there anything on the reverse side Randy?

Tommy--I really like history, so when the day is over - kids to bed, wife in deva room and me in man cave with a cold beer. I do enjoy a little historic research to help someone out and learn something from it.---- Tom

There is a Kezar Lake in Maine that was apparently associated with the Whiteheads. Just another stab in the dark. Good luck!
