Title: Vintage to Antique Sterling Mechanical Keyholder/Watch Keeper, Mexico Description: Vintage to Antique Sterling Mechanical Keyholder/Watch Keeper, Mexico. It is also marked US Pat. Pending . The piece tests as sterling and is appx. 27.12 gr. It has an opening in the squared edge that would likely attached to a strap or chain. It is appx. 2.25" long with a wheel that has a curved opening - one on each side that you align to expose a pointed end to the ring where you can slide a key ring, watch, etc. Not exactly sure what it is but that is what seems to work . Those wheels then move and closed off the exposure to the pointed end, holding the watch, or key in place. It also could have been something used to carry keys on-the-job, railroad, military, etc. I just cannot find an exact copy of this. It is marked Mexico sterling as well below the opening of the tap on top. Good condition, polishing would improve. (W31123.11 SS10031 J LD 3/16/23).
