Silver watch fob

I found this silver watch fob in my paternal grandmother’s button tin alongside random keys, army buttons and normal buttons.

I think the design is fairly standard.

The reverse bears the following stamps:

lion passant guardan = certifying the silver

letter m = 1867

anchor – Birmingam

Makers mark = CES (possibly Charles Edward Soloman, Vyse Street, Birmingham)

I thought I had a photograph which possibly featured this watch fob but I can’t find it at the moment. The chain and watch it was attached to are unfortunately missing.
