THIS IS FOR THIS NICE VINTAGE TRAIN TRACK LOCOMOTIVE POCKET WATCH CHAIN. THIS CHAIN TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS EXTREMLY RARE. WE HAVE SCOURED THE NET LOOKING FOR MAKER AND DESCRIPTION. THE BEST WE COULD COME UP WITH WAS SOME INFO SAYING IT WAS MADE IN THE MID TO LATE 1800’S. THIS CHAIN IS EXTREMLY HEAVY WEIGHING IN AT ALMOST 200 GRAMS. IT FEELS LIKE IT WOULD HOLD 75-100LBS EASILY.(NOT WARRANTED). IT WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF OF A EARLY ILLINOIS 18SZ POCKET WATCH. WE DONT KNOW FOR SURE IF ITS SILVER,SILVER PLATE OR WHAT? WHEN WIPED ON A CLOTH IT SEEMS TO HAVE A SILVER SHEEN LOOK ABOUT IT. A VERY STRONG MAGNET HAD NO EFFECTS WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE CHAIN. THE CHAIN HAS 40 LINKS AND ALL OF THEM SEEM TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE. THIS CHAIN WAS PROBABLY USED ON BIGGER POCKET WATCHES WERE MAX. SECURITY WAS NEEDED, VERY POSSIBLE THIS WAS IN FACT USED BY A RAILROAD EMPLOYEE. CERTAINLY WORTH A DIMES BID!!! THANKS
