Vintage watch chain or key ring? What do the markings say?

[dr.mia52]

Hello.

This chain comes from an estate. The end piece seems to accommodate a watch or keys?  It opens up and is imprinted on the inside but I can't make out what it says or means.  One word seems to be "Quality" but I don't know what the rest means.

TIA

That is a watch chain produced by Kreisler. They were noted for marking their items Kreisler quality USA.

Here is a link for their info

In addition to @silverstatetreasureboxes's info, I think the 2nd line says: "GOLD CONT .025 USA"

Which would mean the gold content is 0.025, or 2.5%. The link above says they "sometimes added the purity of metal, for example 1/20 – 12kt G.F."  where G.F. would mean gold filled. That purity is equivalent to 0.025 or 2.5%.

@silverstatetreasureboxes  Many, many thanks for your help!!  Yup, I found the old advertisement at the link provided and it shows the watch chain! 

And, @lacemaker3, I much appreciate the explain of gold content.

Thanks again!
