New York city on a piece of lead and weird brass sticks

[Renaebri]

Found one of the stick things a long time ago here, but couldn't figure it out and determined it was junk. But finding four today that all look exactly the same, now I'm really wondering wth it is. I'm thinking it has something to do with the civil war reenactments here.

The "New York City" lead strap, no idea... it may have had something written before it, Co or something? Other side is flat.

There was a sugar mill at this location too, if that helps somehow!

Aren't those primers for Civil War cannons? I can't really tell, but they look similar.

Do I get a cookie? Actually, I have never dug one of those.

Cool! Definitely from the reenactments but still cool. Thanks!

Any thoughts on the lead? proving difficult to google

Curious... I found this online which looks really similar to the New York thing. Not sure on size though.

Correct.

The NYC piece could be a plate off a souvenir.
