Gorgeous Antique Victorian W. & S. Blackinton 1/10 Gold-Filled Pocket Watch Chain & Filigree Fob Pendant
An authentic, beautifully preserved late 19th / early 20th-century lariat-style "Y-Chain" pocket watch fob chain manufactured by the prestigious American jewelers W. & S. Blackinton Co.
Key Features & Collector Notes:
- Premium Hallmarks: The hardware is clearly hallmarked with the famous maker's mark "W & SB" alongside a crisp "1/10" metal thickness stamp.
- Double Thickness Gold: This rare 1/10 designation means that exactly 10% of this entire piece's total weight is composed of a durable, real gold layer fused over its inner structural core—offering twice the gold thickness of common 1/20 vintage gold-filled pieces!
- XRF Lab Verified: This antique piece has been completely non-destructively tested utilizing an X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzer, confirming uniform, heavy gold-fill parameters throughout the entire length of the rope chain, swivel clasp, and slide components.
- Substantial Dimensions: The twisted rope chain measures a thick, high-presence 3.2 mm in diameter and spans a generous total length of 12.5 inches.
- Exquisite Details: Features a lovely, intricate triangular/pyramid slide fob charm with open geometric lattice filigree detailing. One end terminates in a traditional secure swivel dog-clip pocket watch hook mechanism.
- Honest Antique Condition: The piece remains in excellent, fully functional antique condition. The swivel clasp retains a strong, crisp snap action. There is minor, honest cosmetic surface wear on high-friction contact points including the jump rings, the fob corners, and the watch clasp. This light wear is consistent with its 100+ year age and serves as a testament to its authentic history without affecting the structural integrity or beauty of the piece.
