Have found many Harmonica reeds, and also some Accordion reeds which are much bigger. But what instrument is this one on the bottom of photo from? Measures 7/8" x 2 1/4" Brass. Only two notes. IMG_1369.webp

I believe the two reed is an accordion reed (push & pull tones).

It is either a concertina reed plate or an accordion reed plate.

Pistol-pete, here is an identification-confirmation photo for you, Charlie_P. and Creskol are correct... the photo shows the reeds inside an accordion... which has single, double, and triple reeds.
