Antique Victorian Shield Fob - Pendant - Charm - Front / Back Stones



This antique Victorian gold tone watch fob or pendant is pretty, but does show 
wear. On one side there is a black square stone. On the other there is a navette 
shaped citrine colored glass stone. (Not sure if the brown spots in the citrine 
colored stone are part of the stone or discoloration.) This is NOT a locket
The fob dates to the 1880s. 

Measurements:
1" by 1"

Condition:
---Wear to the gold tone surfaces.
---The black stone is quite scratched. 
---Surface scratches all around the citrine colored stone, along with discoloration

Tiny Antique Victorian Locket - Black Enamel - Dented - Tintypes - C1860s



Very small, very dented and well loved antique Victorian locket. I say well loved 
because the front and back are very dented. Most likely from a teething baby 
chewing on the locket. One side of the locket has a floral engraved design. The 
other side also has a decorative engraved design. Both sides have black enamel. 
The front and back panels are 9k gold. The frame and bail of the locket are a 
plated base metal. Inside the locket are tintypes of a man and woman (under glass). 
The locket opens and closes properly. It dates to the 1860s to 1870s. 
Being sold as is.

Condition:
---Front and back are very dented.
---Lots of wear to the enamel.
---Wear to overall finish and loss of plating....inside and out.

Measurements:
1/2" by 3/4"
