Need help to name style of chain please

[islandretro]

Hi all. I am hoping someone can give me a name for this type of chain please. I know it is an Albert fob chain for a pocket watch, but I am trying to find out what the pattern of the chain links would be called (like a curb chain or a belcher, or figaro chain for example). It is very ornate and unusual, and any idea of age would be appreciated as well 🙂  Thanks in advance

cheers

Rae

Does this link help?

As to age, unless you can get some help from stamps/ markings, I think it would be anyone's guess. They seem to have been made in similar styles for at least 100 years, and are still being made today. Currently people really don't seem to care about age; it is the quality of the manufacture and the material used which seems to determine price and saleability.

I'd just call it a double Albert fancy link chain, it's very nice.

Hi Rae, theres a similar one on the uk site and it just reads" Vintage Anti theft pickpocket chain " its on the UK site but its from US. It's gold colour.

Good Luck
