Antique White Metal Single Albert Watch Fob Chain with T-Bar and Spherical Fob - This antique watch chain is designed in a single Albert style, featuring a double-link construction where each link consists of two interlocking rings. The assembly includes a swivel dog clip clasp at one end. Attached to a central jump ring are two short drop chains, one terminated with a T-bar and the other holding a decorative spherical watch fob. The fob is ornamented with an engine-turned, cross-hatched diamond pattern. The white metal exhibits a dark, aged patina throughout. Small impressed marks are present on the swivel clasp, the center of the T-bar, and multiple individual links, though they are too worn to be clearly deciphered. Total length from the top of the clasp to the bottom of the fob: approximately 9.5 inches (24.1 cm). The item is in good antique condition with significant surface tarnish and oxidation consistent with age. The swivel clasp mechanism is in working order. The decorative spherical fob shows surface wear and includes a small visible aperture at its base.
