My entry:

My photo for the contest is all that is left of my father's extensive watch fob collection. My father was an Operating Engineer by trade and most often worked as a crane operator. He collected watch fobs that were given away by heavy equipment companies.

Watch fobs were worn outside of the pocket and served as a pull to extract the pocket watch. Manufacturers often gave away watch fobs to advertise their products and my dad was always quite excited when he came upon a new one that he didn't have.

After my dad died my nephew took both display cases that contained the collection and not long afterwards there was a house fire and everything was lost. I only wish I had taken more photos, but I had no idea I would never see them again.

Some of the fobs were COPPER and the buckles on the leather straps were METAL.

My keyword is collection

COPPER/METAL/COLLECTION

Thanks @davidesimoncini for this fun contest!
