Watch Fob
A.F.ANDERSON HAD A VERY TROUBLED LIFE. HE WAS MARRIED TO JOHANNA JACBSON.ANDERSON SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR AND ACCORDING TO INFORMATION HE WAS NOT A VERY GOOD SOLDIER. ANDERSON BECAME AN ALCOHOLIC AND WAS LATER DIVORCED. HE OPENED HIS TAILOR SHOP IN CHICAGO ON MAY 11,1901 AND THE SHOP WAS LATER CLOSED ON APRIL 8,1904 ( ALAS ANDERSONS FINANCIAL RECORDS WERE NOT IN ORDER AND THE GOVERNMENT WAS NOT PLEASED SO THE SHOP CLOSED).THE FOB YOU HAVE LOCATED MAY HAVE BEEN ANDERSONS PERSONAL FOB AS THERE IS NO RECORD THAT ANY WERE MADE FOR ADVERTISEMENT PURPOSES.
VERY NICE FIND....I PRESENTLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE VALUE WOULD BE FOR SUCH A FOB.....BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DATED AS BETWEEN 1901-1904....PAPPY
