Vintage Simmons 1890-1920's Bar Link Pocket Watch Chain

Vintage/Antique Edwardian G.F. watch chain, signed Simmons. 15" (See Photos). Very good condition - with swivel end and spring clasp. This is in remarkably good condition considering it is over 100 years old. Wear is on the clip where the pocket watch slid on, on the insides of each loops from being joined together in storage, slight wear on the head of clasp from pinching it to remove an attached accessory. Chain is Simmons signed and it’s 12k gold filled but G.F stamp has worn off with use. This is quite a unique piece with beautiful patina, this is NOT an Art Deco piece, that was a popular knock off which was sold as true Simmons. Can be worn as a choker (if neck size permits), or add a pendant in the center, or revived as an actual pocket watch chain! Company History: The R.F.
