Pocket Watch Chain?
« on: July 13, 2013, 01:33:29 pm »
Hi all,

I found this whilst turning out (again(!)). I have no idea where it is from, who it is or even why I have it in my home! :-\

I think it is brass and the lenses are glass. To get the photos out, the top attachment is unscrewed and the surround 'springs' open.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Clint

Do you know the people in the photos? These are very collectible. You can find them on eBay. Some can be pictures of the deceased.

No, I have no idea who the people are!

Is it a pocket watch chain?

Ah, thanks for the link! I was about to say that I couldn't find any on ebay!

Regards,

Clint
