ANTIQUE VICTORIAN BLUE BANDED AGATE SPINNER WATCH FOB CHAIN & CLIP
Had been gilded in gold at some point but now shows mostly the brass metal which has a darkened patina now.
Could polish up really well I would think
The chain is later, 1930's era, but came together with the fob so it stays with it
The agate fob alone weighs 12.2 grams
Measures 1 inch across at the widest point - (east to west) x 3/4" long (north to south)
Stone is in excellent antique condition, no chips or cracks
Beautifully polished with three sides that are oval in shape.
The flat measurement is approx. 7/8" as are all of the polished oval areas,
give or take a tiny difference as it is hand done.
It spins around and any of the oval sides could be the bottom.
The gemstone is securely riveted to a uniquely designed brass finding which is hand made.
There is also a clip though I'm not sure what it's used for
Chain alone measures 17 1/4" total length (without the components)
Clip measures 1" long x approx. 3/8" wide
Ring component measures 1 9/16" long, circle measures 7/8" in diameter
Very good -excellent antique condition. I believe the agate fob was attached to the ring piece, I'm not sure when it became unattached. Am leaving it as I bought it for the new owner to deal with. Otherwise only age appropriate wear seen, mostly to the metal which has a dark patina on it. The clip was gold gilded, much of the gold has worn off now.
Not cleaned, selling in original, as found, condition
