What a wonderful place and quite sad in a way. Quite obviously the home of an old soldier.

Hmmm, looks like Royal Coat of Arms belt buckle crest, from a Household Cavalry belt
Could you honestly leave that antique watch there, it appears to be very intricate and well made. It needs to be rescued, for safe keeping.
So we are looking at an old guardsman who made his money in property. By some unfortunate accident his wife and son died. Did he then go mad and leave all this mess? Tell us more!

No it doesn't. It needs to be left alone in it's original place.
'Rescuing' an item is also known as stealing. If however you are able to contact the owner, or the family of the owner, who may have left the building as a shrine to the previous tenants and ask for permission to remove it and place in a local museum then that is certainly preserving it for others to see and not stealing it for your own bedroom/ebay.
YW, I noticed that there's one in the wooden box with the 4 pocket watches too.yes it is well done you! great info thankyou.
