RANDOM 341 OBJECT
Antique POCKET WATCH TRADE SIGN Display Piece - FRENCH-$410
Had the heirs not told me what they knew about this delightful old piece I’d have had no idea it was French. That’s about all they knew, but they did know that.
It is quite large and very heavy. It is made a medal that does not take a magnet. So it could be brass. The gold surface doesn’t appear to be original, but it is likely appropriate and very close to the original. Who knows? It could be gilded brass underneath.
