Superb Victorian Gentleman's bright silver nickel (has a subtle golden hue when caught in certain light), traditional chunky graduated curb link original Antique American (Oscar M. Draper) pocket watch chain/Albert with original big T bar and original stamped swivel dog clip.
C ~1880'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 extremely difficult to photograph).
Measures; 26cm / 10 1/4" total length and weighs a heavy 30.1 grams.
Bright traditional chunky crisp graduated curb links (measure 8mm width to centre and taper down each side to 4mm width) - all have a lovely 'fluid' feel to them and reflect the light beautifully.
Robust original large T bar to one end (measures 3.9cm length) and original big secure swivel dog clip to the other end (operates correctly) which is clearly stamped; OMD - Oscar Mann Draper, Attleboro, U.S.A. Est 1860 - 1890.
Also has a short length of curb link chain just below the T bar with original round link to end - so allowing the wearer to display a fob if desired.
Excellent clean and bright condition with no wear or damage and just a few tiny (micro) overall surface scratches (showing under eyeglass only) commensurate with age.
Will arrive in a new presentation box as shown and be very securely and safely packed.
