A couple of "What is it" thingy's

Found these at a 1898 Home. They were all around 5 inches deep. Maybe you can just tell me when this lock was around or who it was made by. It has no markings on it. And how about this brass type thing with a Lady on it. Pretty ornate decoration for what, I do not know. Make a guess please.....

Second, is what looks to be a bottle topper of sorts with a crown on it.

Third, is a token for South Bend Business College. Can't seem to get a date or when this college was around.

Fourth, how can you date an arrowhead This was found in a hole that I was digging for a coin target. The target was a piece of aluminum and then this arrowhead was found in the bottom of the hole.

Pics in no particular order....Thanks for any info on any of these items. jgas

Did anybody actually look at the stopper picture in the first Ebay example I included?

Screw it into a light socket and see what happens...Just kidding.

Let mojjax do it. He could use a new avatar.

Hahahahaaaa.....no....don't ever change that Avatar. For me it was like looking into a mirror
in about 1957-1958. Except using a paper clip. I wish I still had that hair......

Great IDs on the lock and canteen stopper (and artifact ). I have still not found and info on the South Bend Business College. Chipveres, your link doesn't work...might try reposting it. And jgas, if possible, can we get a bottom view picture of the "art nouveau" piece.

Thanks for the abundant replies. They are most appreciated. Hey Cheyenne, after further cleaning of stopper thing I found some wording on the top edge that states "Schrader's Son". I can only find stuff related to underwater diving equipment. There also appears to be an engraving of a vase on the crown part with "Makers Mark" on it. Maybe that might help our search.

I will still post some pics of the botom and of the Art Nuveou thing as well. Thanks again for all the replies. You guys are quick, I love this site! jgas
