Two antique white metal watch chains of varying designs. The first is a fancy link chain composed of elongated open oval links joined by twisted wire-style junctions, terminating in a large hook fastener at one end and a jump ring at the other. One of the circular connecting links near the jump ring end bears an impressed rectangular mark containing two characters, the first appears as a letter S and the second is illegible. The second item is an Albert watch chain / fob of rolo or belcher link construction, featuring a swivel dog clip and a small jump ring near the centre. The chain terminates in a decorative tassel pendant, featuring a foliate-embossed cap above multiple strands of fine fox-tail chain, each ending in a small metal sphere. Both pieces exhibit significant dark patina and surface tarnish consistent with age.
