I was back this morning at the 1900s yard and found some nice goodies. I will post the two whatsits at the end of the post.

These I am not sure what they are. House built in 1900 and in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. Any Clues?

I have seen the round item somewhere. I think it is a lid of some sort. Maybe to a match safe?

Just a WAG but does the key fit in (and was possibly broken off with) the last item?

The perforated item could be a pepper shaker top?

key wont fit and that is a sink stopper or pepper shaker top. The last items I posted are the ones that have me stumped

Just guessing, it may be a bottle cap? It reminds me of the tops of old gunpowder cans... you would push in the center of the cap and the spring steel clasps would pop off the mouth of the can.... to re install you would squeeze a couple of the clasps towards the middle of the mouth and the clasps would re seat... Does either of the ears move?

They are to fragile to move, but it does have clasps and that other object has me baffled too. Looks like part of an ornate something

it is possible that the three items are smoking pipe related although the ornate item is very much like a perfume atomiser...
