A vintage Victorian revival vest chain pocket watch fob, manufactured by Sidney O. Bigney, circa 1930, featuring a fancy seal accented with a green stone. The fob is a yellow gold-filled mesh "ribbon" accented with a scroll and heart design and seal at the base. Center of the tiny heart is hand-engraved with the initials R.F. The seal has a fancy scroll and milgrained design with a bezel set green glass center stone. Bottom of the seal measures 3/4-inches long and 1/4-inches wide; it has not been personalized. Overall length of the mesh section is 4 5/8-inches. The accompanying watch chain is 5 1/4-inches including the swivel clasp. The maker's mark (S.O.B. & co.) is stamped on the outside of the swivel clasp. Condition is very good: the metal has some discoloration due to oxidation. It has been lightly polished.
All of my vintage items are all previously worn and loved and so are sold as is. I have a long history in the jewelry industry (since 1993!) and am a certified GIA gemologist. I do my best to accurately describe items and am confident in my ability to assess stones, metal, construction, etc. I use the term "delicate" in many of my listings which I interpret to mean small or dainty. If the buying ring or item requires extra care when worn, usually I use “fragile” or "wear with care". Most pieces have been lightly polished or cleaned, if possible, unless the process will damage or alter their natural patina. Some items can be altered, some cannot, so please feel free to ask questions, I will answer them as quickly as I can. Please keep in mind that custom-altered pieces are non-returnable.
Return policy: I want you to be satisfied with your purchase. I will accept returns and refund the full amount paid less the cost of shipping and insurance. I ask that all items are returned to me in the same condition in which they were received and within two (2) weeks of receipt.
Payment: I accept Etsy Payments and PaypaI. Please contact me with any questions or concerns at my web site www.tinacityad.com or through Etsy.
Thank you!
