Watch fobs, lockets, stamps, keys, coins, pencils, and little gold filled cases traveled together through coat pockets and handbags with near-constant use. The best examples weren’t overly decorative. They were simply well made, familiar to the hand, and carried often enough to earn their wear honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis late Victorian gold filled watch fob locket features a softly squared silhouette with hand-etched floral engraving across the front and a warm aged finish throughout. The shape gives it a more compact, tailored feeling than many Victorian lockets from the same period, while the engraving adds just enough ornament to keep the piece feeling personal rather than formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEra:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Late Victorian, c. 1890s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Gold Filled\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e None observed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Approx. 1 1\/8 inches long x 1 inch across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Especially strong layered with heavier chains or worn alone as a small object-like pendant with a little history behind it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Very good antique condition with light surface wear and warm aged patina throughout.
