The bottom piece may be off of a wall bracket for an oil lamp.

Top from a drawer pull/furniture hardware?

Thx! You’re probably correct on this as I’ve found several old gas lamp valves, keys and tubing at this site. Has similar patina and design as the gas valves there.

Thx for the ID!

The middle item has a Forest Service emblem design, and I would suggest that it might be broken off from a stirrup.

The round object may be the wick adjustment knob to the oil lamp.

Thx Don. It has the shape of a wick adjuster, but it is the size of a Large Cent, so much bigger. Wick adjuster is smaller than a dime. I think the escutcheon plate for a drawer handle is the correct ID.

Top item looks an awful lot like a Chinese cash coin

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

The top relic is likely a thumbwheel to an oil lamp burner.
Oil lamp burners were available in three sizes, #1, #2, & #3... yours likely came from a #3 size burner.

I could be wrong, I'm definately not an expert, but the top one looks like a Chinese coin to me, I have found a couple that resemble that..

 

[Gare]

I have seen a lot of Chinese coins and never seen a stepped edge on the center hole. I am betting some kind of adjustment knob. I think ANTIQUARIAN has it nailed down

 

[HuntinDog]

Deffinatly not a cash coin.
If the edge is not reeded than i would say not a lamp adjuster either.

Grasshopper ID'd it as a drawer pull.
