We believe this chain to have been re-purposed from two separate vintage chains due to the multiple karats found on the components along with the various styles found across the chain that we believe are from various eras from the late 1800s through the 1940s. Chain links and findings are all showing normal even wear overall with a few more light nicks, scratches and tool marks on the 18k links than on the other components, measures approx. 335mm in length, 14k links measure approx. 5.5x25mm, 18k links measure approx. 5.5x11mm, weighs approx. 23.8dwt. An attractive and interesting vintage solid gold pocket watch chain, repurposed and ready for another lifetime of use in excellent overall condition!
