    Description

    Offering here a small handsome vintage handmade Dutch sterling silver bookmark style watch fob with fob clip.
    It's unmarked but tested as sterling and is stamped in several spots with what may read, "BOOEP" or something else.
    It dates to 1928 as inscribed on the reverse.
    Fobs like this one were originally used as decorations on a gentleman's watch chain and later went on to become popular as award medals and are highly sought after by a great number of collectors today.
    The later resurgence in popularity as medals is why you'll see a lot of these were engraved many years later than the hallmark indicates that they were made.
    It weighs approximately 3.75 grams.
    It's approximately 3 1/4 from the top of the clip to the bottom section of silver x 5/8" wide.
    It's in fair to good overall condition with no issues with the silver but the ribbon is worn, a bit frayed and getting weak.
    If handled carefully, it's still good for now.
    We never clean or polish our old silver and it's a bit dirty and darkened.
