Found these two objects today, the chunky rectangular object I think could be some kind of trade-weight and it's made out of lead, but I don't see any numbers, letters or markings on it. The other object is made out of bronze or brass and looks like an thimble, but isn't...

c. 2 g, 3cm x 1.3cm x 0.7cm:


c. 26 g, 2.1cm x 1.3 x 1.1 cm:


Any help would mean very much to me.

Translating the size from millimeters to inches, the brass "thimble-looking" object is about 1.2" long by 1/2" at its widest so I suspect it could be a broken-off umbrella shaft's top, a.k.a. finial.
