WATCH FOBS
Construction equipment and heavy equipment watch fobs are vintage, From a time when American heavy equipment and manufacturing were “king”. Why a watch fob? Because most blue collar workers knew that a wrist watch; like a ring, was a “ catch point” danger to their hands or fingers, and secondly would be ruined in vey short order.
Thus the fob that was attached to the pocket watch crown was useful and handy to access the time by quickly pulling the fob and watch from the watch pocket in the vest, jeans, or work pants.
These quality fobs were usually made by quality nameplate manufacturers and used as advertising and marketing items for the equipment makers.
These items date back to the 40’s and 50’s or earlier.
The metal fob has a patina that is appropriate to the age and the leather strap has a pinhole from being tack mounted for display.
Pre-owned.
