I have been dealing with watches and fobs for over 30 and it still amazes me when I see something I have never come across before, as in this piece.

The fob has a two piece metal casing with a suspension loop to attach it to a watch chain or chatelaine. It is decorated with engine turning and unscrews.

Inside is a small glass bottle with a stopper and perfume rod – although the perfume has long dried up, the scent still lingers

The bottle measures 35mm x 9mm and is in perfect condition

The outer case measures 49mm x 12mm and is in a dull metallic colour but is not damaged
