Stunning Antique Late Victorian / Edwardian Sterling Silver & Rose Gold Watch Fob Medal (1900 / 1904)

Presenting an exceptional piece of British horological history: a heavy, ultra-premium sterling silver watch fob medal crafted by the highly acclaimed Birmingham silversmiths Constantine & Floyd (CE&FD). Originally struck at the dawn of a new century, this exquisite piece bridges the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, offering a perfect blend of historic romance and masterful craftsmanship.

THE DESIGN & DETAILS

• Obverse (Front): Features a meticulously hand-engraved central shield cartouche boasting elegant, flowing script monogram initials. Directly beneath the monogram, the year 1904 is crisply engraved to mark a historic personal milestone or sporting victory. The shield is framed by stunning, deep-chased acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and a highly detailed textured border.

• Reverse (Back): Showcases a beautiful, thick solid rose/yellow gold shield overlay seamlessly applied to the silver body. The gold shield remains elegantly unengraved, allowing you the unique opportunity to add your own custom monogram, family crest, or date.

• Hallmarks: Stamped with a flawless, crisp set of English hallmarks on the lower front face:

• Maker’s Mark: "CE&FD" for Constantine & Floyd.

• Town Mark: Anchor (Birmingham Assay Office).

• Purity Mark: Lion Passant (Certified .925 Sterling Silver).

• Date Letter: Lowercase "a" indicating the silver was officially assayed and stamped in 1900.

Historical Note: It was a traditional practice of the era to purchase a premium blank fob and have it custom engraved years later to commemorate a specific event—explaining the beautiful timeline between its 1900 manufacture and its 1904 dedication.
