Watch Fob

[Icewing]

I found this watch fob in the front yard of my childhood home. It's a Herculese Buggies watch fob from Evansville Illinois, and I believe it's from the 1920's.

I'm just curious what it's worth and if it's a rarity.
I didn't see any like it on eBay, and I didn't find much more than a couple of pictures online.

Thanks in advance

Here's a little bit of History of the Hercules Buggy Co.....If you scroll down to the middle of the page, you'll see the watch fob that Mac posted.... Hercules Buggy Company, Evansville, Indiana ...Here's a link to a site that had sold an enamel one near mint..... GirardBid.com luck!

Holy Smokes, mine isn't mint but thanks for the info. Apparently this is a fairly rare fob.

I got a new Dremel and a polishing kit, I'm just curious if polishing this fob would be a good thing or a bad thing as far as its potential value.

don't touch it, you need it to have the original patina to make worth something
