Victorian 1890s Pocket Watch Chain Vesta Case Fob Antique Large Brass Boxer Dog Fob

Victorian Gentleman's very large, heavy and highly impressive Antique pocket watch chain brass vesta case fob in the form of a Boxer or Mastiff dogs head. C~1890s. Similar to the fobs I have supplied to Pinewood Studios. (Please excuse the reflections/dark shadows in the pictures - was extremely difficult to photograph). Measures; 3.8cm height, 4cm width (ear to ear), 4cm depth and weighs a hefty 47.2 grams. Attractive and highly detailed Boxer or Mastiff dog shaped vesta fob who has a very expressive (soulful) face. One of his large ears carries a more prominent ribbed decoration to centre which would have been used as the striker. The oval shaped hinged base opens correctly, closing tightly (positive snap action) with a very reassuring click. Original large brass secure side ring (sealed link) to attach to a Gentleman's pocket watch chain. Excellent clean and bright condition with no damage or wear and just a tiny (micro) bit of overall patina and light little surface scratches (showing under eyeglass only) commensurate with age - looks to have had very little use, perhaps only high days and holidays. Will arrive in a new velvet presentation pouch and be securely and safely packed. *** Will Ship Worldwide *** UK - Free! Royal Mail 1ST Class Signed For Delivery
