E565. 14K, Heavy, Antique Solid Yellow Gold Pocket Watch ChainThis early, heavy chain has bar links joined by doubled round links and is 14" long. One end is marked 14K and is probably newer than the rest of the chain, and the other end is unmarked. I absolutely guarantee the chain to be solid gold, not gold plate, a guarantee that goes with any item I describe as solid gold. I would date this chain to about 1900, but it could be as early as 1880 or so. The previous owners liked and used this chain, so some of the links are fairly worn. Several links have been built up with or repaired with gold solder. So, this is a not a minty chain by any stretch of the imagination. On the other hand, this is an honest, solid gold chain, and would match any early 18s gold pocket watch very nicely. The total weight of the chain is 31.8 grams, or just over one troy ounce. Solid gold chains are getting harder and harder to find as high gold prices drives many chains to the gold refiners. $795 |
