Description:
Unique vintage gold filled fob. This is an antique watch (circa late 1800s/very early 1900s) fob that can be worn on a pocket watch chain or attached to a necklace chain and worn as a pendant. We have attached it to a vintage 14K gold filled (and unique link design) cable type chain that is 20'' in length. The fob/charm can be purchased with or without the chain.
This fob has the letters "AOK of MC" for the Ancient Order of Knights of the Mystic Chain (see note below). The reverse side has a raised stag or buck on the back in a wooded area.
More details:
- Fobs and pocket watches were most popular from the late 1700s through the mid-20th century, especially during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Fob watches, a type of pocket watch with a chain attached, were initially worn by both men and women but became more associated with men by the 19th century.
- The Knights of the Ancient Order of the Mystic Chain were a secret society in the United States in the late nineteenth century. Founded by Freemasons in 1871, the group had a strong Masonic influence in its rituals and degrees, as well as incorporating elements from the Bible and Arthurian legend.
