I found these three mystery items near a very old catholic church, now a retirement home. No idea what any of them are. Anyone have a clue?

(1) This item is made of thin brass and appears to have been intended to attach with a small screw to something? Bicycle reflector (minus the reflector portion) perhaps?

(2) This item appears much older, is about the size of a wristwatch case and has what appear to be some hallmarks.

(3) This appears to be a hubcap or one side of a canteen or maybe a bowl or plate? Thin brass. Gun shot hole in the middle?

#1 held some type of glass, so maybe part of a lantern of sorts.

#2 is the back of a watch or pendant. The 800 stamp on it is the Continental European silver mark for 80% silver.

#3 idk.
