Solved Scovill Queen Ann Lantern NOT Alarm Clock, Medallion or pendant
The main question is about the Medallion and the significance of it. The first photo is to give you something to size it by. That is actually a dug Scovill alarm clock with the hands still attached.
The medallion is about the size of a half dollar it is not a heavy metal, it is stronger that tin it is solid and cannot easily be bent.
I would gladly take any info on any of the other items as well including history lessons!

Agree'd! That is a chunk of lantern parts...
Also, the square piece in the top left is part of a clock... sans gears, but part of the clock's inner framework.
Finally, your round item looks like a button face from a two-part button which is missing the back. It's sporting a common fleur de lis pattern and might be missing some glass stones that decorated those punched holes.
I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines. I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

Fleur-De-Lis pendant. May have had rhinestones.

Does your "Fleur de Lis" item have a concaved aspect to it? Like maybe the lid to a locket?
Most if the items I've seen along those lines are circa late 19th century Victorian type lockets. A lot of which were gold plated and had paste stones like the one pictured below.
Re: Scovill Queen Ann Alarm Clock, Medallion or pendant
No wonder I couldn't find any information on the "alarm clock"! I looked at that link with the lanterns and that was totally awesome! Thank you for the feedback and the information! As far as the the pendant or medallion, I don't think it was a locket, but what do I know! LOL
I don't see any parts broken off that would show that it was connected to another piece, other than the loop or eyelet on top. I don't think it is deep enough to be a piece of a locket either, but it sure does look like the photo you included! It does look like some stones could have been in the little divots so it makes sense.
