South Jersey Finds

[wetwilly]

Hi,

Went out detecting the last couple of days and found a few coins and these items as well.

Does anybody have any idea of what I might have?

*. I understand the pocket watch, but I wanted to identify it further - with your help.
* Not sure of the small container?
* Could this button be civil war?
*. Thought the hollow piece is the end of a cane? A wagon brake piece?

Thanks for looking,
Bill

Looks like a lipstick tube to me.

Thanks cudamark, that’s exactly what a friend of mine just told me today as well.

Cuba is right on the lipstick case
The watch appears to be 1930's TO identify it you have to pop the back off and clean the inside of the case and try to see if you can get anything off the bridge of the watch movement. It should have the name and a serial number as well as number of jewels and adjusted positions. More photos please!
The button does look CW but same for this. Tr to clean up the back of the button and see if you can read the stampings on it?
Nice work!

The hollow brass piece with the hole is most likely a buggy brake.

I'll try to clean the watch up and see what I can find.

I tried cleaning up the button last night and I was able to reveal a few letters. I think I will be able to get enough to identify it further.
Thanks trdking

Great, I was told that could be a possibility. Thanks
