Description
Civil War era pocket watch chain that features multiple fobs related to Ulysses S. Grant, including a bust of Grant and a miniature portrait housed in a locket. The bust is carved from wood and the locket was designed to appear like a book.
Pocket watches were ubiquitous in the 19th century and most people who carried one also carried elaborate chains that were ornamented by fobs.This particular chain is adorned with two Grant fobs, likely a tribute by an admirer of the great Civil War hero (and President). The small book-like fob with Grant’s portrait set inside is especially nice.
