SUMMIT STATION (Halfway House)

[Conito@55]

Today I went hunting very early, there were few but I'm not complaining

On the surface I found this glass button, who knows how old it is

About 3 inches down I found this bronze button.

An unexpected find, this pocket watch that I almost missed

Nice black glass button 👌
Can't make out the maker's name on the watch case.
Possible light pencil over paper might reveal something.

Thanks for the make.

Is there a serial # on the works?
Then it can be dated from that.
