Looks like maybe a watch or a lock of some sort? Has a few gears in it. A little bigger than a silver dollar. help!

To small to be a pocket watch. it is a watch movement.

Reminds me more of an old padlock without seeing the other side or top.

Man I never find the watch pieces grouped like that... they are always one piece at a time. Very cool.

Most pocket watch guts would have engraving on them somewhere with the makers name and the serial number. If you could find that you should be able to date it.
