Well, it's about time!
That I found my first (relatively intact) pocket watch.
It carries an unusual inscription..."MADE IN U.S.A"
Patent dates of 02, 03, and ? so early 20th century loss. Unfortunately could not find a manufacturer's name.
A little more unusual...
This military medal displays a date of 1775 and indicates "For Military Achievement" on the back. Otherwise no name or other identifying marks. The design includes a couple of older design cannons...but I am highly skeptical that this is a revolutionary era medal. Not likely in Michigan. Before I noticed the date I thought maybe mid 1800s because the design reminds me of some store card designs. Maybe it's a commemorative of some kind...or a reproduction? If anyone has run across similar medals and can clue me in to it's origin, I would greatly appreciate it.
Today's finds...quarter for reference...
