🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Iron fixtures of some kind

[Detector mom]

UPDATE: I think the thing on the right is definitely a key escutcheon—much more obvious when flipped over.

trying to confirm the exact location of an old 1850s out kitchen. (I’ve found cast iron stove parts nearby.) The whole area is near a still standing 1858 house where there was also a colonial era building and there has been a lot of activity on the site for over 200 years so it could be from any era…

Parts to a gate or door latch?

The one on the left appears to be an old organ reed. I found probably 20 of those in one spot outside of an old church earlier this year. Im not sure about the one on the right though.

I wonder, based on the size and construction of it, if the piece on the right was some sort of backing plate for a drop-handle drawer pull.

I think a plate old small door knobs were threaded through on a door. My great aunt had the real skeleton key style door in the 70's when I was very young.

both parts look like transom window hardware to me

The deal on the left looked so familiar but I couldn’t place it. you sparked the memory, it looks like the slide for a crank mechanism on a casement window.

Well I’m less confident after trying to find an example but I’ll leave it up. Still possible it’s an older design
