Silver Fob Medal by William Hair Hassler
This antique fob medal is crafted from hallmarked silver, bearing the maker’s mark of William Hair Hassler and the Birmingham hallmark for 1903. The design features a shield-shaped central motif, intricately framed by pierced and repoussé scrolling foliage. The fob is suspended from a decorative loop, suggesting it was originally attached to a watch chain or pocket watch. The craftsmanship demonstrates the skill of a Victorian-era silversmith.
Condition and Collectibility
The fob medal exhibits signs of age and wear, consistent with its antique status. There are minor surface scratches and slight tarnishing, which contribute to its character. Despite these imperfections, the detail of the design remains remarkably clear. This piece would be of interest to collectors of antique silver, fob medals, or items from the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and style of the period.
