Looks like an old watch. Anyway, a cool find!

 

[jtw1313]

I thought watch but it filled with stone and face is on top of the stone weird

What size is it? Perhaps its an old drink coaster.

 

[jtw1313]

2 inches by 2 inches same as a pocket watch

Strange something under the stone to upper left sticks to magnet the rest doesnt

Since the outside appears to have cement on it, maybe a pocket watch was dropped in a cement mixer shattering the face and filled in with cement resulting with the owner throwing it away..

 

[jtw1313]

The outside was just dirt just scraped it off to look for name

 

[SkaBa]

Gave it a shot. Does look like a watch because of shape and stem winder appearance.

 

[bigfoot1]

it would appear that the stem never was functional.the concrete fill is intentional,just too neat and clean.

my guess is a paperweight..like this one..

It is a pocket watch.... (broken) porcelain dial. if you look closely it has a screw off back... I have sold hundreds of antique pocket watches...Great find...

 

[jtw1313]

I'm going to see if I can get the back off

I second the pocket watch case theory. Has the cross arm for the bow and holed at the top for the stem This would not be on a compass.

Cheers

Started scraping

Came up with copper

 

[jtw1313]

I guess it's filled with copper

....

 

[bigfoot1]

ahhh...paper weight...

 

[jtw1313]

I was reading a bit you sure military compasses weren't copper filled didn't get to deep in it yet though

 

[jtw1313]

And is that why the magnet sticks only to the upper left is there a magnet inside

 

[jtw1313]

I'm half temped to smash it and find out what the magnet is sticking to lol

 

[jtw1313]

This is what I was thinking
