Yesterday, while back at the late 1800s teardown's backyard to further investigate the trash pit that produced several 1890s bottles, I found a second pocket watch. This open faced watch looked like it could be silver, but on cleaning doesn't act that way. Looking at the pictures I took out in the field, I could see some etchings in the center that appear to be NyPE. After cleaning, I also noticed some scratched out letters: Noward? I don't see any stamped markings on the watch and it doesn't open. Also found the Warner's Safe Cure for Kidney and Liver, from Rochester, NY.
Was about 60 degrees in Denver yesterday, great for a hunt, today 25 and snowing. Cindy
