The first item looks to me to be a reins guide, no idea about the second items.

Agreed, but this particular type of terret ring with a swinger was not a rein guide. It served a different purpose. The movement of the swinger was intended to keep flies off the horses. They were sold under various names, but most 19th Century catalogues refer to them as "Fly Head Terrets". More information on history and usage here:

Well I also thank you gentlemen for the links and the explanation on swinger vs a rein guide.

In digging for a 1/2 century over here it's something I believe I have never dug as of yet is a swinger.
Lots of rein guides-now I got to go check to see......
Great day when a new is learnt.

Congrats to you KmK for the recovery.
