Gentleman's 'Albo' silver snake link Antique pocket watch chain/Albert with original large stamped swivel T bar and big original stamped dog clip.
C~1930's.
Very rare now days to find one complete with all its original fittings.
Similar to the pocket watch chain I have supplied to 'Peaky Blinders'.
(Please excuse the reflections/dark shadows in the pictures - was very difficult to photograph).
Measures; 28cm / 11" total length and weighs a very respectable 15.8 grams.
Lovely bright and very tactile silver nickel snake links (measure 3mm width) which are beautifully finished off to each end with a highly polished mount - all have a lovely 'fluid' feel to them and reflect the light beautifully.
Original large swivel T bar to one end (measures 3.9cm length) which is clearly stamped in raised script (within an oblong shaped, recessed cartouche); N.C.R & Co (N.C. Reading, Birmingham, England) ALBO REGD.
Large original dog clip to the other end (operates correctly) which is again clearly stamped (within a recessed cartouche); N.C.R Co.
Also has a short length of snake link chain (& highly polished mounts) with original round link to end - so allowing the wearer to display a fob if desired.
Excellent clean and bright condition with no damage or wear and just an extremely tiny (micro) bit of overall patina (showing under eyeglass only) - looks to have had very little use in his 90+ years service, perhaps only high days and holidays.
Will arrive in a new presentation box as shown and be securely packed.
Please view my feedback as guarantee of my integrity.
