The heirs told me that collection was mostly Texas related but that if a fob caught his eye it would be added. This one is embossed Y.M.H.A. with a athletic looking man holding a laurel-an award for winning an event? standing standing next to the letters. If that means something different let me know and I will let new owner know. I found the following information on Google--The YMHA (Young Men's Hebrew Association) was first set up in 1854 in Baltimore to provide help for Jewish immigrants. A YWHA (Young Women's Hebrew Association) was first established as an annex to the YMHA in New York in 1888, and the first independent YWHA was set up in 1902. In 1917 these organizations were combined into a Jewish Welfare Board, and were later renamed Jewish Community Center (or JCC) (though some retain the YWHA or YMHA designation)--- The reverse of the fob is marked--- T.HAUSMANN & SONS   LTD.N.O.LA.   STERLING ---and that mark was used between 1906-1917--again thanks to Google. The fob is about 1 1/4" across and the chain is 7" long with the identification end being about 1 3/4" long. please email for any other photos or with any questions you may have.
