This is a lovely antique watch chain of considerable rarity. It is a long chain of almost 22 inches long and double stranded white material, possibly bone or early celluloid. All the links are joined with metal and with beautiful Victorian Ceylon 10 cents coins from 1897, 1894, 1893, 1899, 1900 and a two annas Indian coin from 1841. To the centre is a T bar in the white material and also a beautiful anchor as shown. To one end is a dog clip and the other a bail which means it makes an amazing necklace as well.
This is a gorgeous rare piece and likely to be nautical in origin with possibly hand made by a sailor with coins from travelling. It has age related patina and slight bend to the bail.
This is a very old antique item and as such will show signs of wear commensurate with age.
Please examine the photographs carefully and do feel free to ask any questions, I am happy to help.
