Don't know if the right place to post, but know that some of us/you may wear tweeds and perhaps a gold watch - just seen a 1923 gold fob inscribed with a fisherman at one of the auction houses at Warrington.

Personally, I think it a bit overpriced at £260 opening bid ( 9ct gold scrap is about £15/g so that gives it a gold value of £195 or thereabouts) and I'd ask the auctioneer if the enamelling is original - seems a bit amateurish - and its also inscribed on the back. RH -
Plus you'd have to add the 30% commission onto that.
Mark - remove if not appropriate
