Leavens Fob Joy Ram Watch VCR-260 Rock Drill Pocket Advertising Promo Vintage

In the days when mining and construction equipment was sold man to man, makers like Joy Manufacturing handed out small keepsakes like this one to the crews who ran their machines. This watch fob promotes Joy's Ram VCR 260 crawler-mounted rock drill, and it makes a great piece for collectors of mining, quarry and oilfield advertising, or a fun display next to an old pocket watch.
