Hi shaun
The silver is the back of a pocket watch, I don't know what the tubes are but I have
found quite a few over the years.

Hi jrsherman
It is the coat of arms of the county of Essex England.
I've found a site to explain.

Hi Mike
The badge is brass and these winders are always good to find.
This is the only forum I have ever been on.
