3" New Old Stock (NOS) yellow gold filled (YGF) multi-strand ribbon style pocket watch chain with a fancy engraved belt clip finding and matching round locket fob, nine lengths of elegant YGF small oval link chain are secured at each end with smooth polish cylinder finials, the center three strands have decorative rectangular accents, chain is finished on one end with a large rectangular YGF belt clip with a recessed oval engraved detail supporting a smooth polish diamond-shaped blank monogram shield surrounded by flowers and geometric designs, other end of the chain has a round picture locket fob with similar style engraving to the belt clip but around a marquis-shaped blank monogram shield surrounded by floral and geometric engraving.
The back of the belt clip connects to the 5" YGF curb-style link chain finished with a medium-sized classic YGF swivel clasp, chain is still attached to the original paper display packaging and is showing some scuffing on the belt clip and some small spots of patina in places but otherwise is in near new condition, we can likely polish off the patina before shipping if desired but it would require us to remove the chain from the packaging, chain measures approx. 15mm wide x 80mm in length (fob not included) x 6mm thick, fob measures approx. 16mm in diameter x 22mm in height x 2mm thick. A great looking New Old Stock find from the 1930s or 40s in near mint condition!

For historical information, photo examples, and suggested wearing styles for our pocket watch chains, please visit our
"How To Wear" Guide.
Our example photos show our items against a backdrop created from a men's medium-sized vest. Depending on the style you are looking to create with your chain, we offer that for someone with a slender build or short to average height, you can expect the shown item to hang off your person similar to the photo. If you have a larger build or are taller than average, please note the chain will hang differently off your person than shown.
As a rule of thumb, on an average-build male, we suggest straight or Albert style chains 10" or shorter for heights under 5'8", 10" to 14" for heights 5'8" to 6'2" and 14" or longer for heights over 6'2". For Double Albert chain styles, we suggest 20" or shorter for heights under 5'8", 18" to 30" for heights 5'8" to 6'2" and 24" or longer for heights over 6'2".
Please note: this pocket watch chain and fob combination is a
matched set; however, we may offer the option of purchasing the chain or fob separately; if so, the drop-down menu above gives individual prices and allows you to select your desired choice or combination.
