These are two screws for the setting lever part of the winding/setting mechanism for this Hamilton. It looks like some early watchmaker lost one of the screws and fashioned a replacement. The upper screw is original. It has a nice flat head, polished, and smooth, even features.
The other one has a filed down head, and the tapper has been hand cut. It's made out of a larger screw. Nothing wrong with this, it works, although they could have done a nicer job.
These are a little harder to assemble than similar Elgins. It's hard to get the barrel in place because of the way the ratchet wheel works.
This is an 18 size movement, 21 jewels, grade 940 made about 1905.
