Watch-hook

A device for holding a man's pocket watch, in the form of a short bar to slide behind the belt and curve over the top and downward, the front with a decorative ornament, sometimes in the form of a band with a snap to hold the watch. Some also had a loop to be attached for security to a watch chain.
