    No idea what this is. It is made of brass and was deep about 6 inches. I would say it was in the 1800s level of the ground I was in. We found large cents at that depth in this yard.

    it is very thin to be a clock winder.

    Because of the decorative glass I'm leaning toward a music box winder.

    Almost all the clock winder pics have the mickey mouse ears to them. The music box winders have many different designs. I would second that on a music box winder. I think it's a mirror vs glass.
