Do a search for Beta Kappa Beta watch fob on google....

Now so far the only things I can find are on ebay, still no webpages nor history on the item to 100% say yes or no on what it is about....

Weird thing I noticed: some of the fobs are stamped W&H.CO and others like the one in the ebay ad above is stamped with the company's full name.

I won't call this done until I find out the story behind the fob! We've only found others that are the same but nowhere does anything explain EXACTLY what it is!

From various online sources:
Whitehead and Hoag Co. was founded in Newark, NJ by Benjamin S. Whitehead. As a youth, Whitehead imprinted silk ribbon and button novelties for souvenirs and began experimenting with imprinting on thin sheets of a new material called celluloid. Whitehead went on to perfect the celluloid button, one of the best known and most widely used of all specialty advertising products. In 1891, his company was incorporated as Whitehead and Hoag. (Hoag was Chester R. Hoag.)
Whitehead & Hoag Company ceased business in either 1958 or 1959.
