I have found a couple of these but don't know what they are.

Any help is appreciated!

Not sure of size, but it resembles a holder for a block plane blade.

Reed from a pump organ. there should be a letter stamped on one end that tells what note it is.

Yes it is. Here are some Tnet discussions from the past.

Good ID!

Dr. Grip is absolutely right, hands down it is the adjusting plate from a hand plane...

Why would somebody use an brass organ reed for a hand plane "adjusting plate"?

Note the reed is broken off.

If you look on the right part of that piece (in the 1st photo) you will see the note. Looks like a D or possibly a G.
Definitely not from any plane. Hope this and the other comments helps you.
