This is a GREAT J.E. Porter Co. advertising watch fob. It has info on one side - the company, location (Ottawa, ILL) - Haying Tools and Barn Door Hangers; on the other side, there's a great, decorative image of a Porter Hay Carrier. The leather band is worn but functional. I don't know the type of metal used, but it's heavy; I used a silver rag to get some of the tarnish off, but just enough to see the images. From 1886-1945 - the "Hay Days" of American agriculture -J.E Porter was one of five top producers of hay tools for agriculture! I would guess this piece to be early 1900's, but am not sure since I can't find any for comparison.
