Victorian silver watch albert with collection of fobs.
The chain came to us from a private collection, exactly as it is here, with various fobs collected over the years.
The T-bar is hallmarked for 1889 with a maker’s mark for the Birmingham silversmith H W Ashford & Co. Each of the links on the chain are hallmarked although some have worn over the years.
Over the years, the former owner of the chain has added various accoutrements including three tassels, a double sided compass (the lenses have a lot of grazing), a 1900 silver Isle of Man fob, an 1841 two annas Indian coin, a Victorian silver swivel, a 1922 Girl Guide’s silver thank you trefoil badge, a George III 1762 threepence coin and a small purse (probably from a charm bracelet).
The chain measures 38cm long, and weighs 83g.
