Antique (1901) 9ct Fetter Link Albert Watch Chain

A fetter link Albert chain is a staple in any collection. They look amazing on their own or as part of a stack. The links in this beautiful chain are all solid through and through so it has a wonderful weighty feel when worn. The T bar slides freely along the chain, so it can be worn in the front with the dog clasps, or to the back. It would also work as a bracelet doubled around your wrist, or added to another chain to make it longer.
 
What's special about this one? The beautifully formed links, the sliding T bar and all of the original hallmarks so we know it is a quality genuine piece of history. It's over 100 years old but just as beautiful as the day it was made. 
 
The gold is a soft yellow gold. It is not rose gold. 
 
Condition: The chain is in excellent antique condition with light wear commensurate with age. The dog clasps are strong and springy. 
 
Hallmarks: Every single link is stamped 9.375 for 9ct gold. The T bar and one dog clasp also have matching makers marks "J.M". One of the long links also has an assay mark for Chester and a partial date letter most likely for the year 1901. 
 
Weight: 32.35g
Length: Just under 14"(there are 3 extra little links hanging with the T bar that could be removed and used to extend the chain by approx .5" - this would need to be done by a jeweller)
