Vintage 9ct Gold Spinner Fob with £1 Note – Dublin, 1978

What a wonderful and whimsical find!
This solid 9ct yellow gold spinner fob features a miniature £1 note encased beneath glass, with the humorous inscription “IN EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS” engraved on the base.
A playful nod to “just-in-case” moments, it brings both character and craftsmanship together beautifully.
Fully hallmarked in Dublin in 1978 and carrying the maker’s mark JB, this vintage charm is a lovely example of Irish goldwork from the period. The fob spins freely on its textured arm and remains in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of age.
A perfect gift for a charm collector, an Irish memorabilia enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates unique and quirky jewellery.
It would look wonderful on a chain, watch key, or as part of a curated charm bracelet.
