Interesting Old Watch Fob

[mapper65]

Hi guys, we were digging an old home site a few weeks ago and I found this old watch fob. From what I've read, Erie Steam Shovels were pretty much out of use by the 1930's. If in fact this is from the 30's, I was surprised to find that when I cleaned it up, it still had some of the enamel left on it. I checked completed eBay auctions and one in mint conditions has just sold for $204. I was happy to find this.

Very nice recovery. Lots of history behind that one! HH Randy

That's a really nice find for sure. I have never found an old watch fob, the few that I have found were fairly modern and not worth anything. Congrats !!
