Interesting Watch Winder - Any references for Winders??

[BrianNY]

Found a very interesting watch winder Monday. Anyone know what this one might be or has anyone come across a website that may list these?
Found a post on here from 2013 with an identical one but no one at the time was able to ID.

I don't know of any reference thats tried to study & list these. That would be a tough job with the number of variants.

Interesting pocketwatch winder find Brian, this piece has a lot of information on it.
The type of swords, the artillery cannon with the flag above and the wreath below should at least give you an idea of the timeframe.

I'm thinking c1830 - 40, possibly commemorating the Mexican-American War?

"The Mexican–American War, also known in the United States as the Mexican War and in Mexico as the Intervención Estadounidense en México was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. It followed the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico considered Mexican territory since the Mexican government did not recognize the Velasco treaty signed by Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna when he was a prisoner of the Texian Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution."

Thanks for this info. Surely one of the more interesting ones that I've dug.

Of course, this is just a shot in the dark about it being tied to the Mexican–American War Brian.
The history of America is very diverse and I always welcome the opportunity to research and learn about it.
