one looks like a tractor pin with

cotter key. the other looks like a flag pole top

tincdig has it! The left piece is a fastener pin with a rusted cotter. The plum bob thing is probably a final of sorts?

 

[mjb Mike]

the piece on the right seems to be solid brass very heavy.tony what do you mean by a final of sorts

 

[ticndig]

finial means end. could be from a flag pole, fence, bedpost. I'll stick with flag pole

 

[mjb Mike]
