Custom Engraved Pendant Appraisal

Engraved Identification Pendant

This is a circular metal pendant, likely intended to be worn on a chain. The pendant has a dull, aged silver color and appears to be made of a non-precious metal or possibly heavily tarnished silver. The surface exhibits noticeable scratching and wear consistent with age and use. A small metal loop is attached at the top, allowing it to function as a charm or tag. The most prominent feature is the engraved inscription across the center which reads "Scott FORD 4365733". The engraving is done in a cursive script for "Scott FORD" and block numbers for "4365733". There is a visible patina developing on the surface, particularly in the engraved areas. There are no discernible maker's marks or stamps visible in the image. The overall quality of the craftsmanship appears to be simple and utilitarian, suggesting it may have served a functional purpose, such as identification, rather than purely ornamental use. Based on the style of engraving and the wear patterns, this item likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. There are no apparent major structural damages or repairs visible, only surface wear.
