✅ SOLVED 2 items from Farmhouse

[Jan1972]

Hi Everyone. Found 2 items I need some help in identification. I found them around some barns at a farmhouse established around 1940. The penny is for size comparison. I believe the items are made of brass but I'm not completely sure of that. Thanks a bunch!

Top one possibly a cigar tube......?

Bottom one looks like the hardware off a 1907 leather sling or similar style sling. Not sure if the same hardware was used on other items.

First item looks like a lipstick tube.

I was thinking Estee Lauder, but, it doesn't look quite right. Maybe another brand........or something completely different!

FFuries is correct, as usual. More specifically, your "buckle" is from a World War One era US Army rifle sling for a Browning Automatic Rifle. See the photo below, identified by legendary Historical US Military Surplus dealer Hayes Otoupalik.

Cudamark nailed the ID on the first item, ignore the cigar tube/holder ideal......

Correct me if I'm wrong but the BAR didn't come out until a few months after WW1. WW1 "era" would I guess be correct. Gary
