| Fonctions : | Fobs are a small trinket, pendent, locket or seal worn to decorate a watch chain. Men's watch chains with fobs were worn hanging just below the short waistcoats in fashion from the 1830's to 1850's but they lost their appeal by the 1860's as longer coats were worn and covered where the watch chain and fob would be visible. Kathleen Agnes Sayers ne‚ Colloton (1906 -1981) was the wife of Geoffrey Sayers. Kathleen, known as Kay, married Geoffrey in 1933 at St. Peter's Anglican Church in Erindale. Kay and Geoffrey never had any children and were the last Harris relatives to live at Benares. This jewellery was part of Kay Sayers Estate and was donated by Geoffrey Sayers. Many of these pieces were originally from inheritances through the Harris and Draper families. |
