High quality base metal shield fobs with assorted pocket watch and timepiece designs.  These fobs are styled after traditional, vintage pocket watch chain fobs, and are accented with well done colored enamel work (where featured).

We have chosen to supply many of the fobs within this listing to accent our full line of pocket watch chains, however most of the small fob styles would also be appropriate as a charm on a lanyard or zip-pull, as a necklace pendant, or as a decorative focal piece on your DIY jewelry project.  Due to how some of the small fob pieces are crafted, a few of the styles we carry have a small spot of solder on the back.  Please contact us directly to inquire if the style(s) you are interested in have a solder mark or are a continuous piece.

  • Fob Only

    • For attachment to a pocket watch chain, necklace, lanyard, zipper-pull, or other accessory; or for use by itself.

  • Adapter (for large fobs only)

    • Fob is finished with a matching color silver or gold-toned solid base metal bail, or a black adapter on fobs with a copper-toned base. A small hole at the top of the bail will allow the fob to be secured to your own keychain, lanyard, zipper-pull, or other accessory with the included jump ring (jeweler's pliers suggested for assembly). A non-matching color adapter can be attached instead at no charge on request.

    • Fob is directly attached to a 1/2" wide sturdy leather strap, measuring approx. 90mm (3 1/2") in length, offered in brown or black leather, with a silver-toned, gold-toned, or black-toned buckle. To use the fob with a pocket watch, you unbuckle and thread the top of the leather strap through the watch bow then re-buckle the strap. You can then put the watch into your pocket and the decorative plate will hang outside, enabling quick access to retrieving the watch to tell the time. These can also be used solely as a decorative piece as well by threading your belt through the leather strap and letting the fob display off.
