Item Description
Brass link chain and bar is designed to hold a pocket watch. Chain joins a 1.75x1-7/8" die-cut stiff piece of celluloid. Depicted is working man next to gears and an anvil. He looks toward a golden yellow sunburst surrounded by the words "Progress/Unity." Reverse has text "Drink & Enjoy Kenny's Teas And Coffees/C.D. Kenny Co." Reverse includes tiny 1905 patent date and name of maker W&H. Our example from the Hake Collection realized close to $300 several years ago. This is the only other example we've seen. Also see labor/product button for "Union Beer" #502.
