Description

Antique silver watch chain and Aberdeen football fob.

The chain measures 34cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The T-bar is hallmarked for 1896 and the clasp for 1897, the two components have different maker’s marks.

Each of the graduated links has the lion silver mark but they are quite rubbed.

The chain comes with a silver fob with a rose gold wash to the central shield which has the Aberdeen Corporation Coat of Arms together with the name Bon Accord. Bon Accord was a founder member of the Aberdeenshire and District Football Association and it is believed this fob was awarded to the Juvenile arm, hence the inscription on the reverse of the fob, ‘AJFA Charity 1896’. The fob is hallmarked for 1895.

Total weight 48g.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Antique Silver Watch Chain to the 1890s.

FAQs

An Albert chain is a type of pocket watch chain named after Prince Albert, who frequently wore them during the Victorian era. They were designed to secure a pocket watch to a waistcoat or buttonhole.

Traditional watch chains were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or gold, featuring interconnected links such as curb or trace patterns, often complete with a T-bar and swivel clasp.

Authentic pieces typically feature British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, along with natural patina and wear consistent with age.

These historical pieces can be repurposed as modern necklaces, pocket accessories, or displayed within a gentlemans study collection or shadow box frame.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the historical patina, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the metal.
