Any guesses on the horse item and the disc with holes in it? The horse item is heavier than aluminum (maybe pewter) and has a threaded center post and a stamp of 1116 On the inside. The disc with the angled holes may have a spiral design on it as well, seems to be brass. Currently soaking it in olive oil. Thanks for lookin!

I think you're onto something there. I was thinking the same thing. I know I've seen those before. It looks to me that the image is a fox. If we can find what bicycle company had a fox ( or horse or what ever the animal is) for an emblem, we can zero in on what bike it is from. I'm going to search English Raleigh.
Nice finds cabers !! really like the Indian & Merc.

The first patents for these bells. Was in 1877 and the heyday for cycling was at the turn of the century. Many different makers and designs due to demand. Yours looks to fit tthat era, Bristol as a maker maybe a good start in looking for more info.

Well done on the recoveries.
Neat bell top, great looking design.
The disc with the angled holes might be a Whizzer.
Might of been a store bought one vs a home made from coinage.
