Charming Antique Pocket Watch Sampler/Love Token-"S Rushbrook-1837" ... Click images to enlarge Description This is a Charming Antique Pocket Watch Sampler or Love Token, measuring approx. 1¾ inches in diameter
Embroidered, it reads ' Samuel Rushbrook-1837', with symbols of playing cards'hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds
Tiny little embroidery stitches and probably worked in candle light. Looking through an eye glass, it appears to have had a fine darn, under the diamond shape, top left hand side. It is the same colour as the background fabric so not easy to see.
The back is lined, so this stabilizes it, otherwise good antique condition.
A little grubby.
As the name implies, pocket watch samplers were love tokens, worked by the girlfriend or wife for their beloved and kept in the back of their pocket watch and kept in the pocket close to their heart. They are usually late 1700s/ early 1800s.
This is a charming little piece of history and a rare find now.
Tomorrow I will list the Georgian pocket watch that it came with.
