I have always thought how these types of chains would make for an interesting key ring

This gold plated chain is much shorter than usual and perfect to hang out of a blazer or waistcoat / vest pocket

The chain is made up of two lengths of chains with an additional shorter length, from which hangs the T bar. At one end is the dog clip and at the other a fob in the shape of a purse with a hinged handle and a three leaf clover motif

The fob measures 28mm x 16mm x 3mm

The chain measures 100mm from the T bar to the fob or 70mm from the T bar to the dog clip

The chain is in 95% mint condition. The fob is in 80% mint condition – tarnish on the back where I presume another clover leaf motif was attached
