Maybe a simple one?

This was found about 8 inches down which seems to be fairly old in this area of the field.

It is vaguely familiar to me but can't put a finger on it, any ideas?

Thanks!

How big is that? How. Wierd. What would a symbol of a clock mean to anyone? 2:50...hmm

Alice in Wonderland pendant/charm.

March Hare: Mad watch! Mad watch! Mad watch!

Mad Hatter: Oh, look! Oh my goodness!

March hare: There's only one way to stop a mad watch!

Mad Hatter: Two days slow, that's what it is.

White Rabbit: Oh, my watch...

Sorry, didn't give dimensions.

It's about 1 1/8 inches in diameter. I've only rinsed it so it's probably brass. Pretty thin. like it might be part of a two part item.

Thanks!

Maybe a pocket watch for a doll?

I would bet its a lid for something my first thought was maybe for a snuff tin.....

But the little ring on it suggests it was on a chain of some sort.

looking at the way it's punched through the numbers I'd say it wasn't originally meant to be on a chain.

I tend to agree with this, as it isn't smooth on the back like a charm or pendant would tend to be. I looked at images of old tea tins (which used to be smaller), and they might play off of the saying of "tea time", but to no avail. It's too small for coffee, and certainly not Eight-O-Clock brand for sure. Also looked at old thyme spice containers... Get it, time/thyme? No luck there. Maybe make-up of some sort, which can buy back time for your face?
