Sold for: $150.00

Original era production. One of the most interesting watch fobs we have ever offered, and really it fits into the genre of Trench Art in some ways. The overall length measures 7.5 inches, and it consists of a narrow leather strap with a snap hook at the top end of the strap, and on the opposite end is an enameled 1914 Iron Cross. Mounted to the body of the strap are five WWI era assorted insignia, including a miniature collar disc for the 5th Missouri Infantry, which became the 138th Infantry Regiment, serving with the 35th Division during the War. Just a wonderful WWI souvenir.
