Wallet Forcat Chain With A 1900s Penny

🔗 Forcat Chain with Indian Head Penny

Here’s another fine piece of chainwork straight from the workshops of Marseille, France. Handcrafted in solid brass, this wallet chain packs rugged durability with vintage Americana charm. With a brass hook, manille shackle, and snap hook, it’s built to keep your goods anchored safe no matter how rowdy the ride gets.

The chain style here is forcat, also known as the classic “cable chain.” It’s made of oval links arranged neatly in a uniform row, each link perpendicular to the next. The result? A clean, timeless look that balances strength with elegance, giving this piece a more refined silhouette compared to chunkier styles like curb.

A Penny That Packs History 🪙

Swingin’ proudly from the chain is a genuine Indian Head Penny from the early 1900s. These beauties were minted between 1859 and 1909, featuring Lady Liberty wearin’ a Native American feathered war bonnet. From the hands of settlers and shopkeepers over a century ago to your belt loop today, it’s a piece of real-deal Americana that makes this wallet chain more than just an accessory—it’s a conversation starter.

Solid Brass for the Long Haul ⚒️

Brass doesn’t just shine, it ages gracefully. Over time, it’ll develop a warm, lived-in patina that tells its own story. This chain ain’t no dime-store novelty—it’s the kind of gear that grows alongside you, ready for years of ridin’ and ramblin’.
