Great Antique 1860s European Gold & Orange Gemstone Pocket Watch Winding Key Fob
This beautiful pocket watch winding key fob was handmade around the 1860s in Europe and features an ornately engraved conical handle set with an orange gemstone, probably a Madeira Citrine. The piece also has a ring around its axis. The loop and bale to attach the piece to a pocket watch chain is lost.
The piece is in very good antique condition with some wear according to age. I am listing it as gold filled / plated since I haven't been able to test it with X-Ray Fluorescence yet. I'll update this listing once this is done.
Measures 1 3/4" long x 1/2" wide (at the widest) and weighs 5.5 grams.
A gorgeous piece from an intriguing era of history!
