<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 9456779, member: 18081"]Hello all! Not jewelry as such but a watch fob. I'm hoping you can tell me if it is vintage or antique? It does look older but unsure. Bought recently at an auction. I have done a little research and the marking, "Garantie" is confusing me a bit. I have seen it associated with Germany but also France. One listing described it as Jakob Bengel but I'm not sure why. I don't think it is silver or perhaps a low grade. There may be another mark but I can't make it out. The stone in the middle is glass, what would you call the blue dot on one side, red on the other element? Any and all info appreciated. Thank you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]439886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439892[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
