1862 USS MONITER WATCH FOB

[vanoldschool]

Had a great time with Tom76 Yesterday. we hit an old house that was built around 1865, I dug this watch fob with a sub, I think it may be the USS Moniter from 1862 Ironclad days, but I am doing some more research to verify my guess, I have read in the past, that some fobs were made from the actual metal from the ship as souvenirs. I will post the rest of my finds later this week thanks for looking.

yeah he posted this thread 1 min after commenting on yours which leads me to believe he google searched the item he found for a pic because he didnt have camera and found yours, makes sense.

Nothing that I can see on the back side. I wish it had a date or smoekind of mark that I could lookup.

No, I meant what is the design? Ship? Sub? (but you might have answered my question)

Oh its not an specific submarine but more of a generic WWI sub, at least that's what people thought when I posted it the 1st time. LOL

Poor Van.... he was at my house for the weekend while my wife was gone with the kids to a wedding and she took the camera. I think both the pipes coming up look like smokestacks. Hopefully we can figure out what it is. I'll post my finds from the same site tonight.

It looks like a destroyer to me. There must be some writing on it.
