Antique Silver Toned Open Work Engravable Watch Fob-
Defining fobs in relation to pocket watches yields two meanings. One is a small ornament - sometimes purely decorative, sometimes utilitarian, like a seal or key used to wind a watch - suspended from a pocket watch chain. However, a link or mesh chain or a length of ribbon used to suspend such an ornament was also called a fob back in the day. These elongated fobs also dangled from a chain, and some held charms like this one on the end.
Developed around the 1770s, alongside the invention of pocket watches, fobs were worn by both men and women, attached at the waist or to a belt originally. Their popularity continued throughout the 19th century but gradually became more associated with male attire. Some watch chains held multiple decorative fobs where they dangled similarly to a ladies charm bracelet when draped on a vest.
Once pocket watches fell out of fashion, many fobs were refashioned into ladies charm bracelets or worn on necklaces.
