Antique Gold Filled Double Watch Chain & Later Fob

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique gold filled double pocket watch chain with later football fob.

Each chain measures 24cm including the T-bar and the clasp. One of the clasps is a period replacement but the other is original to the chain, and it is signed JFS Sons 1/10.

This tells the chain was made by J F Sturdy & Sons and the 1/10 indicates that one tenth of the items weight is gold which has been bonded to a base metal. These chains were popular in the Victorian and early 20th-century eras.

The chain comes with a later 1950s fob awarded by the Birmingham & Works Amateur Football Association, Referee Final Tie to H G Knight.

FAQs

A double Albert watch chain is a traditional pocket watch accessory featuring two chain lengths, a central T-bar for securing to a waistcoat buttonhole, and clasps for attaching a watch and a decorative fob or key.

Historically, watch chains were crafted from solid gold, gold-filled metals, sterling silver, or rolled gold, often assembled with sturdy curb or trace links and fitted with spring swivels and T-bars.

Authentic period watch chains frequently show subtle surface wear revealing the base metal on high-friction areas, period stamps or makers marks on swivel clips, and traditional mechanical fastenings.

In modern fashion, double Albert chains are frequently worn as distinct multi-layer necklaces, wrapped into layered bracelets, or fastened to contemporary blazers and waistcoats as statement jewellery.

Care for gold filled watch chains by wiping gently with a soft microfiber cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, immersion in water, or abrasive polishers that can strip the gold layer or damage enamel fobs.
