I was making my Saturday morning yard sale rounds and came across this interesting lapel watch,It seems to made from Mexican Coins and it is dated 1867. I'm hoping some of you watch or collectors out there could help me out with info on this.Its keeping good time as well .
I would venture to say "Custom" piece.....Coins were carved out and common called "Love Token". The concept of one being made into a watch is truly a unique idea, really LOVE this, but positive it's not a production piece. That said surely it's one-of-a-kind, Thanks for sharing
Here's an overview here on CW about Love Tokens
