The History Of The Fob A fob can be defined as a short strap attached to an object to make the object easier to handle. The watch fob is a good example. Small decorative objects attached to the strap are also called fobs. Before World War I, when wristwatches became available, personal watches were carried in pockets. They were attached to short straps that could be leather, ribbon, or metal chain. The strap made it easier to remove the watch from the pocket and easier to handle the watch securely. Men usually carried their watch in a small pocket on the waistcoat, called a fob pocket. Around 1775, waistcoats had several pockets, and for a time it was fashionable to carry a watch in each pocket. As chain-style fobs began to be made of jewelry quality metal such as gold, silver, or even platinum, they began to be called watch chains or fob chains. These were valuable objects in themselves. *Priced fairly for its value though I will consider fair offers. Please note when making offers that Poshmark takes 20% of the selling price from the seller*
