The Ford Barn

Is this tiny little Ford pendant something a Ford salesman would wear in the 1930s ? Exactly 1 inch long. I,m sure it,s genuine late 1920s or early 1930s. You can see where the enamel is chipped off, same sort of damage that you see on old grille shell badges.

Looks like it might be for a key ring. Chips come from hitting the dash?

Looks like a watch fob to go on the watch chain for a pocket watch.

Regional Sales Dinners and meetings had various promo gadgets given out in Goodie Bag fashion.

( yeah, another Henry into old Fords )

The pendant is no modern age Ebay trincket . As mentioned probably for a key ring and given out at a sales convention. It,s real old for sure.

The general look of the thing, both the metal and the enamel, is exactly like that of a well worn '32 radiator badge. As '34 GAZ, I am pretty sure it is a contemporary of the badges and likely something Ford had made by its badge suppliers...somebody earned that thing by selling lots of Ford stuff long ago!
