pretty Brooch, (pin gone)
Brass cap from a Dating stamp.

Sure wouldn't want to get hit with that!
odd iron ornamental piece, or is it something useful? comments?

Actually your curtain weight are called Hem weights. They were used in the old style dresses from the 1800's to keep the ladies dress from blowing or moving around. They added a touch of class to the dress as well by keeping those long dresses pulled down and straight. Nice hubcaps as well. I'm guesssing from the 30's/40's. A collector may be looking for that kind Nice digs. Ron

I'd come closer to thinking your glass piece is a salt or pepper shaker. Not too often do you see inkwells that fancy.

I love your posts though, keep them coming as long as you can before winter gets to you!
