This Art Deco watch chain fob features an anthracite druzy, often referred to as a “Pennsylvania diamond,” paired with a bold silver-tone tank-tread chain. The design reflects strong geometric lines typical of the Art Deco period, and the clip bears patent dates from 1902 and 1904. The piece presents in very good vintage condition.
The combination of textured druzy and architectural chain links gives this fob a confident, industrial presence. The tank-tread, skyscraper-inspired pattern adds visual weight and rhythm, making it equally compelling worn traditionally with a pocket watch or styled today as a distinctive pendant or accessory.
