Assuming this a watch fob?

Was happy to find this at a recent sale. I'm thinking it's a watch fob. Cool with the 2 sided Egyptian revival theme. Base metal.

Watch fob, right? Is something missing on the base?

 

Ditto. Very nice, those different scenes on the panels.

 

I put in 'Neiger', but natch-it's not fancy enough to be by them, but this came up (not exact but similar)-

A Google Images search brings up a number of those fobs . Here's one complete with hanging medal.

Great minds, Debora and Bosko, was just looking at one on Etsy. I wonder if these were made for years, this Etsy one is saying 1920s. It seems like it is sort of a cheaper version unless that's just the photo.

Turns out there are quite a few on Ebay. Mine seems to have a better patina in a way, but not sure if that indicates older or not.

 

They'd be post-1922 when King Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered.

I was weeding our old rural cemetery 40 years ago and came across one of these-quite touching. A fellow worker unearthed some embossed milk bottles (w/ 3 number phone nos)- burial grounds are quite extraordinary.
That cemetery had some of the most beautiful and fragrant daffodils (narcissus) we've ever seen and smelled ! They grew on top of the Civil War/GAR monument.
