I found this and another old pocket watch in a neighborhood that was turned in to a park.  I started cleaning this one with marginal results as you can see.

I will post any progress on this one.

Good luck with the cleaning. In days gone by, I would refer to that item as a training device. It has all the hardest elements you'd ever run into in a cleaning job.

Isn't this just the most fascinating hobby?

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Some cleaning progress.  I used a off brand of CLR and it looks like it is attacking the uncorroded metal.  I doubt that it is possible to clean further.  Anybody have any ideas?
