1. 3.6" wide brass cinch ring with ferrous metal tongue, 5oz. If anyone is familiar with old cinch rings this large and heavy, please give me a holla.
2. base of a Princess Pat compact. I saw one on ebay, same base, with a cover design that was first produced in 1931. The base could be older; the company first produced Princess Pat in the early 20's, and while the covers changed, I'm thinking the base did not.

3. Federal Monark shot shell headstamp. Produced for many decades, until the 60's I think, I'm not sure when it first came out.
4. a brass grommet, about an inch wide. It's shape - I've never seen one like this - may indicate it was intended to take a strap or belt.
All these came from an old abandoned farmstead in Davie Florida, that was probably founded in the teens or early 20's. It was inhabited before that by Seminoles. The US Army most likely came through the site in the 1840's hunting the Sam Arpeka band of Seminoles.
