Social Sciences - History / Jewelry, watches | | English term or phrase: fob seal | Aus einer Auktionsankündigung:
Highlighting the sale is a very rare and historically important gold enamel and diamond presentation watch with matching chain and *fob seal*
Die Definition auf Englisch hab ich schon gefunden: es ist ein kleines Siegel - quasi ein Westentaschensiegel - das an der Uhrkette befestigt ist. Die Uhr ist eine alte, sehr wertvolle Taschenuhr (19. Jhdt), die vermutlich für einen König angefertigt wurde. |

| | Petschaft | Explanation:
"... mit passender Kette und Petschaft."
Ich glaube es handelt sich hier am ehesten um eine Petschaft, ein Siegel, das in ein weiches Material gedrückt wird und keine Farbe benötigt. Diese Siegel können in größerer Form gemacht werden, aber eben auch als Uhranhänger.

Hier ist eine Abbildung einer solchen Petschaft zu sehen.

Mention has already been made earlier of the small pendant seals which came back into fashion in the 17th century, although from this period onwards they are termed 'fob seals'. This name derived from the fashion of attaching them to a watch-chain or ribbon which was carried in the 'fob' (pocket) originally in the breeches waist-band. Fob seals enjoyed a wide appeal as a fashion accessory from this time until the 1830's, their height of popularity being in the Georgian period. Advertisements in contemporary newspapers illustrate the fashion:-
(lost) 'A gold watch.....with a seal and a Key of a Cabinet tyed to it in a sattin Ribbon'
Kingdome's Intelligencer, February 11th, 1661
vielleicht einfach nur als Taschensiegel beschreiben?
