Circa 1860's campsite relics....what are they?
I haven't been able to identify these three items ( maybe the top one is part of an emblem of sorts, but no writing) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The middle item is the handle of an eating-utensile, such as a fork or spoon, which is missing the wood or bone overlay on the handle. The small holes on the handle held short mounting-pins which attached the wood or bone overlay onto the handle's iron body.

Top and bottom pieces look like old trunk/chest parts - recessed handle and strap - looks like they were burned in a fire?
“Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.”
Could the bottom piece be horse tack of some sort?
Correct. A broken cheek piece from a bit.
