The button you're holding is US Army Air Corps WW2 vintage. it is a collar button and I think it's from a bomber group. I believe it's for a flight engineer. On a B-24J or 25 the flight engineer was also the top turret gunner and stood in a turret right behind the cockpit. The crew reported in flight complications to him by verbally or by radio. He would then investigate and try and resolve the problem, ie put the fire out. I believe he also armed the bombs.

The second picture, the third item . The circular one with a hole in the middle. Is the top to a powder flask.


Similiar to this one I found a few weeks ago.

The round thing looks like side plate from a fishing real.

Can you show the backs of both the military-looking pieces... I don’t think either has quite the right ID as of yet.
For example, if the one with the Great Seal on it is a button, then it’s from 1902-1910, as it lacks an outer edge. But it’s size could also be a rosette, or could be a hat badge...
And the wings/prop would have to have the right fastener to be a collar disk....
