First picture, bottom right is a part from the insides of an old mortise lock, the kind that took a skeleton key.

#37 on page 2 of the drawing looks similar. There's many different shapes depending on manufacturer.
Hope that helps some....

Best,

Looks like a harmonica in your last pics.

It's hard to guess the age on the harmonica. Many are still made with wood today, so it's down to how fast the steel (outer portion missing from yours) and brass bits would corode.
