HENRI WEIL'S EXCEPTIONAL WATCHFOB

After I wrote the article on watchfobs two weeks ago, I ran across a photograph of the founders of Medallic Art Company. Henri Weil, older of the two Weil Brothers, was wearing a watchfob. See attached photo. Sorry it is so grainy (the complete version of this photo will appear in the book on the history of the firm I am currently writing).

If you owned a medal company, and were a master medallist as Henri was, wouldn't you have an exceptional watchfob if you were among the millions of American men who wore these?

Henri did His personal fob was in four segments, each element was highly detailed, connected to each other by loops and links. Perhaps (hopefully) the Weil descendants still has grandfather's watchfob.
