That is a reed from an accordion or a smaller instrument called i believe a concertina? If you look close at your reeds slykatt you may be able to see the "key" that the reed is in,a b c d e f or g. Check near the base..Jerry

Well I'll be d****ed! I have found enough of those reeds to fill my pocket. I've always wondered what they went to. I thought they might've been part of a hunting horn, or stagecoach horn. But I was just finding too many to account for that. A squeezebox (aka concertina) makes perfect sense. Great finds, never give up on the old sites!

Unusual finds for sure Jerry.
We know picture 6 & 7 is a decorative harness piece.
Congrats,

I don't know about them being used as decorative pieces on harnesses, but I have seen them used as a leather strap finial, like at the end of a leather reins.
