Buckle Button Bottle

[Smilodon]

Had a couple hours today and headed out with a friend. The items were found within a few feet of each other and I believe they are all copper, well except the bottle. The one buckle still swivels. Any information on any would be great.

The third item looks like it could be part of a mortise door lock mechanism. I'll see if I can find an example.

The button is a U.S. war of 1812 Artillery button.

The Ozomulsion bottle is a ca 1880's or later medicine (cure-all) bottle.

As for the buckle I don't have a clue. I'm sure the experts will be here shortly to correct any mistakes I've made.

Still trying to confirm if it's a mortise lock part or not. Not finding one like it right now.

Thanks for your help. The area we are at we found slave tags,a reale,indian pottery and bunch of bottles. Mainly sc dispensary bottles. I am fairly new to this and appreciate your help. Any idea where I can get the buckle identified?

The buckle is from a stocking-or-garter strap.

The item brass item with the wedge on one end is indeed from a door latch/lock.
