Intact Pocket Watch with Fob Found Metal Detecting

[dyanashot]

Can anyone help me date the Uncle Sam Pocket Watch and the Bucyrus Fob Found together while I was metal detecting? I could not find any info on the internet as far as the dates they were manufactured. I do know Bucyrus was separate of "Erie" before 1927 and then they merged to form "Bucyrus Erie". Any help with the dates would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Here is a detail image of the Bucyrus Fob:

Very cool. I have my Grandfathers pocket watch in new condition, but basically that exact watch with a metal dozer attached to it.
