Help with Wool Fob

[Baldingboy]

I need help identifying this old Becker & Mayer Co fob. I found this behind an old garage at a huge old structure built around 1905. Any help appreciated.















Thanks...Baldingboy

Mackaydon,

Wow....very cool! Thanks so much for the information. I don't know how you are able to research this stuff so well. I notice you always come up with great information.

Baldingboy,
Finding the answer to What is it? is nearly as rewarding for me as finding the object itself.
I enjoy researching for the answers. Thanks for you kind comment.
