Hey CWN, I Googled genuine bronze watch fob to see if I could put a date to it and I can only guess at it. Watch fobs came in all shapes and sizes and even the Civil War ones look newer to me :dontknow: But the best way to guess would be to see what else is found there and what era those items are from. If I had found it, I would probably guess late 1800's to very early 1900's until someone who deals in antiques gave me a better date on it. The shape of it and the words Genuine Bronze may have been used fonly or a specific time frame. So it's just a guess on my part, but that is a real nice watch fob!! :clapping:
