An outstanding "Foster & Bailey" (F & B) 9 Karat Rose gold with shield shaped cartouche circled by a belt buckle design ! A lovely fob consisting of solid 9 Karat gold, hallmarked 9 CT G (for gold) F & B for the Rhode Island jewelry maker Foster & Bailey. Foster & Bailey. is a Providence, RI jeweler and silver smith, in business from 1878 to 1898. Prior to that, the company is under the name White & Foster and succeeded by Theodore W. Foster & Bros. Based on this information, I'd date this piece to last quarter of 19th century late Victorian period. The shield shaped fob beautifully engraved and pierced, with a crown top, and shield shaped cartouche engraved with the initial WJ. Circling the shield is a nice belt buckle design with a Fleur de lis on the bottom. The workmanship, and details are superb! It measures just a tad over 1-1/2" tall, and over 1" in width, and weighs a substantial, 4.5 grams. It is in excellent antique condition, with minor surface scratches and patina. The engraving is crisp, and clear ... its just lovely! A beautiful example, and fine addition to any antique fob medals collection!
