Victorian Gentleman's highly impressive 10ct (professionally tested) rose rolled gold (has a lovely rich pink 'blush' and is known in the USA as gold filled), fancy 'trombone' link Antique pocket watch chain / Albert by 'N.C. Reading & Co'., with big original signed swivel T bar and original swivel dog clip.
C~1890s.
Similar to the pocket watch chain I have supplied to 'Peaky Blinders'.
(Pocket watch shown is for sizing and colour shade only and NOT included).
Measures; 28.5cm / 11 1/4" total length and weighs a highly respectable 23.2 grams.
Bright crisp 'trombone' links (measure 2.5cm length x 6mm width) which are interspersed with chunky oval shaped roller links - all have a lovely 'fluid' feel to them, reflecting the light beautifully.
Robust and well made original big secure swivel dog clip to one end (operates correctly) and original large swivel T bar to the opposite end (measures 3.9cm length) which is clearly stamped (within recessed, oblong shaped cartouches); ALBO NCR CO REG (N.C Reading & Co Ltd, Birmingham, England. Est 1886 - 1920).
Also has a short length of trombone link chain just below the T bar with original round link to end - so allowing the wearer to display a fob if desired.
Excellent bright clean condition with absolutely no damage, tiny bit of wear to the T bar / dog clip and just a miniscule amount of extremely light overall patina and surface scratches commensurate with age.
Will arrive in a new presentation/display box as shown and be very securely and safely packed.
