This 14k yellow gold fob seal is set with an amethyst intaglio, depicting a locomotive and two wagons. Fobs like these would have been worn on a watch chain of a Victorian gentleman. Officially, seals were used to sign letters, but the original owner of this seal most likely did not intend to sign any letters with this piece, but wore it to show his interest or maybe his line of work. 

The locomotive was invented in 1804 and drastically changed the course of human history. Locomotives have evolved a great deal since their inception, becoming much more efficient and environmentally friendly over time. The model shown in this intaglio is one of the earliest examples and was fueled by wood or coal.
