Antique 9K Gold Watch Chain Necklace with Football Competition Fob, Birmingham, 1908

There’s a certain pride embedded in this antique watch chain, a symbol of victory and craftsmanship intertwined. Its bold, polished links speak of Edwardian elegance, while the attached fob carries a story of triumph on the football field. Engraved with the words "EBBW VALE N.U. FOOTBALL COMPETITION 1908" and adorned with a red Welsh dragon, the fob offers a glimpse into a spirited past where sport and honor met in equal measure.

Handcrafted in 9K gold this chain measures 16 inches long and weighs a substantial 50.34 grams. It's hallmarked with 9, 375, the anchor of Birmingham’s assay office, and the maker’s mark H.S. The attached fob, marked with 9, 375, Birmingham's anchor, and date letter h for 1907–08, measures 36 mm from top to bottom and 23.3 mm across. The reverse side bears the worn but legible inscription “BRADFORD”, along with the maker’s mark F&S.

Once a proud token of sporting achievement, this watch chain now carries a different kind of legacy—an emblem of craftsmanship, endurance, and a moment of glory forever captured in gold.
