✅ SOLVED A couple curious items

[LByles]

Hunting in a field along the river. Had CW activity and troops crossed the river heading to a plantation on the other side. There were also a handful of old houses along here pre and post CW.
Found this thing. I think it’s a fitting of some sort but wanted to make sure before I tossed it.

This reminds me of a piece of a harmonica reed but it’s a lot thicker than the ones we’ve found before?

I think this is lead? Not sure. It’s heavy for its size.

And this odd thing.
Thanks!

Top looks like a gas torch nozzle and the bottom appears to be a part of an old wrench.

That's why the top one looked familiar lol Old wrench with all the holes in it?

The top is a compression fitting, on an old gas/fuel line. Third item looks like a piece of a Babbitt bearing

#1 water supply tube
#2 is a from a music box
#3 is a pot metal supply line nut, may have went to the supply pipe above
And of course the bottom pic is a wrench

I'd say that #2 is an accordion reed. Reed organ reeds are often IDd as accordian reeds, but those have only a single reed per piece. Harmonicas and accordians (and concertinas) work on both the blowing and drawing of air, and so have two opposing reeds per piece.

Yea there is a reed on each side. They are normally that small?
