Cool relic
Cool! Thank you!Here’s a picture of a M J Tobias
Rail Road Time Keeper
Made in Liverpool
Now that is a really cool find!
Indeed, it unquestionably looks like a watch cover.
How deep and which detector?
Did some searching and interesting thing is that apparently practically none of watches marked this manner ever saw Liverpool...they are actually Swiss made.
Some watch forum(s) had several topics about these watches..the 'patent lever' is pure market talk
