I'm having trouble with these two brass things. Window latches or?

Faucet handles maybe?

The straight one I imagine is a valve handle; water, steam, gas(?) Curved one possibly the same. Is the hole all the way through and square on one side like the straight one?

The second one reminds me of the latch handle for a wrought iron gate.

This type of handle is also used in machine/metal cutting equipment to lock the adjustable table or tailstock in place.

Live anywhere near Bridgeport?

Best wishes!

Handles like these were used on many things.

No the hole on the curved one doesn’t go all the way through. Thanks for the replies.

If it's brass, then it could be nautical; maybe a closure mechanism for a porthole or watertight door or compartment?

Good guesses some kinda water shut off.
