Lancastrian Jewellers has dated this piece to the 1900s.
The chain was named after Prince Albert, who was said to have been fond of wearing watch chains. The Dog clip would have been used to attach the pocket watch, too, and the T-bar would go through the buttonhole of a waistcoat to secure it in place.
Today, these are often worn as necklaces, and the clip can be used to hang a pendant around the neck.
This quality example of a Rolled Gold Albert chain would make a great addition to any collection.
