Dug these two brass pieces this weekend close to where I dug the heart heel plate...they look very similar to the box clamps listed in my Civil War collector's encyclopedia..what do you think? They are the two pieces at the bottom...also looking to see what the upper right hand brass piece is as well....
Thanks for looking,
Baggins

All the larger pieces look like harmonica parts

Yes, the upper ones are harmonica reeds...I am asking about the two at the bottom...one has been opened up, the other is still closed....

The bottom pieces are from wick adjusters for oil lamps. They are the part the wick goes through and the slots are for the wheels that raise the wick.
