Watch fob?

[sideshowbob]

I believe I found my first watch fob this morning. Can anyone verify that's what it is and a possible approximate manufacturing date. My attempts on the interweb were unsuccessful. I found it in a park I've only hunted a couple times. All my other finds have been clad-era, I hope this is older and will give me hope that I'll find some older goodies.

It's a fob, whether a watch fob or a key fob would be hard to determine as both have been made with that loop design. I personally think it dates to the 70's, maybe late 60's at the earliest. Anybody else concur?

My inclination was 70's as well. Out of ~$5 in clad, I've only broken into the sixties 3 times. Thanks for looking

I seem to remember that people had fobs like that on their car keys years ago.
