✅ SOLVED Some sort of "posts"?

[Oldhand]

Hello everyone. The items in the picture were found in the field where numerous buttons, a large cent, Tombac etc have been found. we have dated the field to between 1780-1860 with the artifacts we have found. We have found a total of 4 of these things and we have no idea what they are.
They appear to have had a post of some sort on the bottom of them where they attached to some sort of surface. Not sure if that surface was metal or leather.
It looks like something that you would wrap a cord around or loop it around to hold something closed. Is this horse tack? or some sort of pouch or satchel closures? Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for looking and HH!
They are approximately 5/8 of an inch tall and seem to be made of brass or bronze.

First one appears to be a closure finial used on cartridge boxes, pouches, etc. in the civil war. Second maybe too?

The bottom one looks like the knob of a push pin.

I have found several of the bottom item and all have rust marks at the base as if they may have had a screw attachment. I have wondered if they may be door stops.
