No idea where I found this....

Found this... somewhere. Wasn't silver so I didn't care. When I found it, it was folded into a neat square. I promptly forgot about it. Pouch started getting heavy, dumped it all out to sort...

1904 election watch fob. Probably copper. Sadly, the Roosevelt/Fairbanks medallion is missing.

I'll just post an online pic of what it looks like, as I'm feeling too lazy to clean it. It's in damned fine shape for being in the ground 118 years.

Nice. Surprise clean up finds are always cool.

Very cool! I actually found a 1904 Parker & Davis campaign fob awhile back…

Awesome find! Sometimes the "junk" in the pouch is surprisingly good.

Jkline, that's a really cool find! I love digging watch fobs - especially those with historical significance. Best of luck and ...
Happy Hunting!
