[QUOTE="Roshan Ko, post: 1916651, member: 11243"]Yes. This means key chain. "Chabi" is key and "ka gucha" can loosely be translated to bundle of. hence a bundle/bunch of keys. You got the Zaveri part correct, it is a surname and it does mean a jeweler. Rajkot is a place in Gujarat. This must have been made there. How this key chain workss - The chain comes off the hook and you slip your keys into the chain. The larger hook is used for hanging it on your saree. Everything else the kind and awesome members of this fantastic website have said is correct and so informative. I think this is a repair work done when the chain must have broken. may be due to the weight of the keys[/QUOTE]
