Watches
- Waterbury watch
- In "Watches of the Night", both Platte and the Colonel carry Waterbury watches, with the story joking that there is no difference between one Waterbury watch and another.
Source text: The Colonel had a Waterbury watch also, and for guard, the lip-strap of a curb-chain. Lip-straps make the best watch guards. (Project Gutenberg ebook 1858, "Watches of the Night")
