i managed to find out that there was a watch case maker named Cooper who had a shop at 5 islington rd London,in the 1794.
It could be the same person.

[kolslaw]

that would be pretty sweet if it dated back that old...maybe worth something.

[Geode]

Very good find Kolslaw boy if dated back that far that would be great.

Cool find for sure! Am I the only one that finds if odd how many are found without the time peace?

Cool find, It is always nice to find something old. It would make a neat picture locket, or display.
