Mark, I believe it to be a Rolex FOB, it is made of metal, not plastic....

I believe it was produced around the time Rolex came out with their diving watch but since I'm no Rolex expert, I could be wrong.... Big Grin

If you would like me to do some research on the name on the card I would be happy to, I just can't make it out in the photo.

Tom:

From what I can make out it says J.S. Black from Topeka, Kansas. There are some stains so it might be J.D., I will have a closer look tomorrow.
