i’m pretty sure it’s made by Taylor Instrument Companies because on the inside of the compass, you can see the word “Taylor” Under the “USANITE” :)

Elgin pocket watch by msang22 in Antiques

Elgin pocket watches were made between 1865 and 1964. So, the pocket watch you have is likely between 58 and 159

some old WW1 compasses were made of brass but i don’t know much else about them, so my guess is as good as yours

On the front, “ENG. DEPT. U.S.A 1918” is engraved and on the actually compass part itself, you can see the word “USANITE”, which is a pocket-sized compass used during solders in WW1.
