Watch Fob Chain
Old watch suposedly belonging to my Grandfather?
Its a watch and chain..I think its called a "Fob Watch"..On the front is a figure of a "Bass Fish" with the title "Big Mouth Bass" written around the lid..its about 2.5inches in diameter silver in colour..not working at present..My Grandfather died in 1942 and this watch was passed on a few years ago from an old friend of the family he said that it was given to him by my granddad before he died..I have seen a photo taken in the 1920s of my granddad wearing a watch but it is impossible to tell from the photo if it is "The same watch"..any one have any idea from my description weather this style of watch could indeed be from the turn of the centuary or weather it would be probaly much later ?
I inherited my grandfather's watch much like the one you describe, only it is in gold. I was surprised by two things. Its value was only $50, and to have it cleaned and fixed so it could work cost well over $200!! No jewelers want to fix watches anymore, so they send them away, and the cost is extravagant (in my opinion). The watch you describe and my grandfather's came from the early 1900's but before 1920. A jeweler could tell you more exactly. Good luck!!
