Nice finds Dave! I've never found a pocket watch in one piece. Congrats!

[Skamaniac]

I'm in love with that pocket watch! Very cool.

[aloldstuff]

Nice pocket watch. The only complete one that I ever found was a real cheap model.
Yours looks to have a nice ceramic face.

[tanacat]

I feel so lucky to see all of your cellar hole hunts- don't you DARE ever stop sharing on here! I'd go into shock :shocked04:verreaction: lol

[catskillcomics]

If you ever decide to try to open the pocket watch and if the inside are too corroded, give me the serial number and I can give you a good idea of the date of the watch.

im not sure how to open it? theres no little nub to pop the back off? does it unscrew?

[Lodge Scent]

Nice find on the pocket watch. I can't make out what is on the ornate keyhole escutcheon. Is it a picture of something ?

[Tony Two-Cent]

Great bunch of relics, Dave! I love that old pocket watch, WOW! It doesn't look like it's in too bad of shape.

Nice variety of finds! |:cheering:

[Bell-Two]

Great stuff, and nice to know about that chain pump piece I found one sans the chain the other day and did not know what it is....and now I do |:cheering:

[ChrisinCT]

normally you can take a pocketknife, along the back edge and it would pop off

[zenitramNaes]

Very cool finds! Nice detective work on that chain.
