- Egyptian Magic Coin/Watch Fob Ca 1905

No Place, No Producer. Unbound. Egyptian Magic Coin/Watch Fob. No producer, place or date. Perhaps Sears and Roebuck, circa 1905. Either brass or bronze metal, a little over 1 ¼ inches in diameter. A coin or watch fob piece created in the early 1900s, by a variety of makers, capitalizing on the Egyptian revival fad in US popular culture at the turn of the century. Four different styles have been documented, with this one bearing a bird with a short beak on the Sphinx side, and three balls to the right of the seated pharaoh on the other side. Sears and Roebuck issued a piece such as this, sold as a watch fob, first in 1905, and then in 1907. GOOD condition. Heavy rubbing, with some soiling and tarnishing, to the coin. The rubbing has resulted in the loss of defined features. Small loop at the top. Good .
