Found all three of these in the same yard within the same general area.-house circa 1800.
the amulet looking item is brass and the other two are copper. First thought on the 2 similiar items were pipe tamps or something similiar but the smaller one definitely had something attached to the base of the wider end.
Any thoughts? thanks.

Added new pics of the brass item-looks like it was made to have something run through the loop. It is 1.5 inches tall.

SS,
Guess they were flush mounted and then extended straight out with no hook or curl?
The larger part definitely was attached to something for sure.
thanks.

Some had hook ends, some curled, some had acorn ends...yours seem to be a bit like this one, or perhaps the ends have just broken off :dontknow:

Think you are definitely right SS-looked online at others and these fit the same general shape as alot of the 19th century coat hooks I see. Will consider those solved.

Any help on the brass item would be appreciated as well.

The brass item is exactly what it looks like - lucky wishbone necklace pendant. I suggest you wear it. :D

Thanks Matt-I had thought maybe that was too simple an answer.
I may use it for a keychain as it is a good size and has a nice weight to it-
I could always use a little extra good luck!
