Hi, I found these near my wood cabin last summer in what seems an old dump. Place as some history, first settlers came from U.S. or British Kingdom around the 1770's. I would like to know the age of the brooch, it seems made of copper and brass plated. I'm mostly curious about the two other items, have no idea what is their usage. Thanks and sorry for the photos, will try to take better ones with the camera.

Your first item is possibly a back scratcher and the 3rd item possibly a cane or umbrella tip.

I think the first item might be a hat pin, the last looks like a posy holder.:thumbsup:

The third item almost looks like a scabbard tip to me. Nice finds!

Thanks for the comments, I willl continue my room cleaning, lol.
Thanks Bill, make sense for item 1, but I think it a bit large for a umbrella tip. Thanks nhbenz, the items were found at the same place. Thanks SilverSearcher, went Google "posy holder" since my english is far from perfect. I think you nailed it, the images are pretty similar. Thanks CoilyGirl, good suggestion, but the opening is too round imho.

I think the first one could be a hair pin. Goes through another curved piece to hold hair in a bun.

Thanks everyone, sorry for the delay but had to have my oldest dog euthanized last friday. His name was Patch, he was 10 and been a true and faithful friend. Thanks my old friend, you'll be deeply missed.

Sorry for your loss. I've been there and its tough. Best medicine is to get another one soon as you can.
