Shoe Buckle from the saw mill

[prolab69]

Went out to an old saw mill today, first target was this decrative floral design whatz-it, not exactly sure what it is. 2nd target was this fried 1889 indian. 3rd target was this shoe or knee buckle, didnt really know the saw mill dated back that far to find one of these, my first Also found whats left of an 1880s harmonica plate cover, As soon as I read M, Hohner I knew what it was.
There is another brass plate with writing on it, not sure what it says, itll most likely go in the scrap bucket.
