The last photo is a hem weight. The debate still rages over how often it was used in military dress vs civilian. They were commonly used in everything from curtains to skirts and coats. I have found several over the years in Civil War camps. Supposedly they have been used for several centuries. The rest I can't help with.

The 1st item looks like a letter opener from the Arts and Crafts Movement of 1880 thru 1910. Arts and Crafts movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some makers of those genuine period pieces are highly valued by collectors. Does that item have any markings on it? These Roycroft pieces are worth some money. Roycroft Copper Online Price Guide But I ain't so sure it's a letter opener either maybe a decoration piece from a A & C era door, piece of furniture or just some fancy tent stake as you mention?
