Pocket Watch Part?

[Erik in NJ]

I believe this is from a pocket watch, though I wasn't able to find any of the rest of it. Can anyone tell me anything about it or a possible timeframe? It appears that it's made out of copper. Thanks.

LOL I found 2 of them yesterday.

I'd say more likely brass then copper but

it's tuff to date those things, hopefully if there were copper ones, they were short lived & someone knows when.

Hi Jeff, Yes I think you're right in that it's actually brass as opposed to copper. If it had been copper there most likely would have been green oxidation on it. Funny that no other parts of the watch showed up including the shell, which would have been the better part to find. Can you post yours? Thanks.
