Featured What is this? Some kind of watch fob??

    What would you call this piece? I think just base metal as I can see a spot where it is worn and another color shows.

    Is this a watch fob? Thanks.

    Yes, a watch chain and fob. Very decorative. Looks gold plated, with some loss of plating.
    If you want to sell it as a watch chain, it is best to photograph it open.

    Forgot to say, it looks like it is missing a big round spring clasp on one end. Those can still be found.

    OMG, first I have to find it. Went to take a photo of it lying open and I have no idea where I put it!! I'll take a second look at the clasp. Also can do some tests. Thanks.

    The clasp it has now is fine, but it is supposed to have a big round spring clasp on the other end.:)
    Like this one, except yours has the fob chain in the middle of the watch chain:

    Thank you for posting a comparison piece for me, AJ.

    I can see what you are talking about with the big spring clasp.

    The photo is helpful! :) Thank you.
