<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gus Tuason, post: 4374433, member: 10012&quot;]I think that these long chains were also called &quot;muff chains&quot;. Also they could be used to hang pince-nez glasses, monocles and other items. They were not limited to women as men used them too. In use with watches men and many times women, had breast and or waist pockets and the watch was placed in them, easily accessed. The lady&#039;s watch pin, if used to hold a watch, held an open faced faced watch that had an inverted face with the back of the watch facing outward. Then with a upward twist of the watch the time could be read. I think that that the lady in the picture using both the watch pin and the chain was doing so to show off for the photo. Note that in the old photos both men and women were quite proud of their jewelry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
