With a clear 1897 Birmingham hallmark and the craftsmanship of Henry Allday \u0026amp; Son, it’s a beautiful example of period utility and style. During the 19th century, fob chains were essential accessories for gentlemen, used to secure pocket watches and often worn draped across a waistcoat. Beyond their function, they became a subtle form of personal expression, frequently adorned with engraved seals, lockets, or charms. Today, they offer a tangible link to the elegance and precision of a bygone era — collectible, wearable, and rich with history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"760\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"760\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"793\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"772\"\u003eMaker: \u003c\/strong\u003eHenry Allday \u0026amp; Son\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"793\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"807\"\u003eProduct: \u003c\/strong\u003eVictorian Fob, Pocket Watch Chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"884\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"855\"\u003eMetal: \u003c\/strong\u003eHallmarked Sterling Silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"918\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"894\"\u003eEra: \u003c\/strong\u003eVictorian, dated 1897\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"996\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"929\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e380mm length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1136\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eVery good antique condition with minor surface wear consistent with age.
