Description:
Lovely gold filled square shaped watch fob locket that was made by Wightman & Hough Co. The front of this antique fob locket is etched with a stripe and swirls design. The back of this locket is plain with no design and a shiny finish.
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 new 14K gold filled rope chain that is 20'' in length. The fob/charm can be purchased with or without the chain.
Inside the locket are two compartments for photos with the frames and covers still intact. The locket closes securely. The hinge is on the bottom and the locket opens from the top.
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 hallmark inside the locket stands for the Wightman & Hough Co. This jewelry company was established in 1856 in Providence, Rhode Island. W&H manufactured a variety of gold, gold filled, rolled gold, and sterling silver jewelry. Their jewelry was hallmarked with a heart with the initials “W&H CO” inside. The company was known for their lockets, medallions, and seals, and made these items through the early 1920s.
