An you help identifying any of the unknowns? These came from a house built in the 1800s.

Just wondering if your cooper cupling is the overflow for a bathtub. And the ring with the 4 holes is part of it. The holes that have been resest is for the screws to hold to the coupling. The round part would be on the tub side with screws going through holding the coupling. The other holes would be for a cover plate most of them would be chrome. That's my guess

Thanks. They were found on opposite sides of the house though.

Hi...I'm pretty sure Unknown #2 is the bottom part of a window lock...I have these latches on all my windows and the top half of my locks are shaped like a Train car...

Unknown is a "zincoln" penny. Not sure of the date they were first made (within the last 20 years. They deteriorate very fast. Unknown 1 are parts to old shingles used in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I have found at least a hundred next to old churches (from reshingling).
