any ideas? the lower left is lead and I think its a carving, looks like a mushroon. I have shot alot of round balls in my lifetime and can't think for a second that a round ball could wind up looking like this if shot out of a rifle. So here it is, what do you think? 036.JPGThe horse and bell object are early 1900'S and the other are mid 1800's (dimes is for size)
 

The bell object looks like an inverted candle cup. Like to see some larger close-ups of the horse thinhg.. front and back.

The "bell" could be a candle snuffer, The ring item is a pocket watch key (winder). The lead may have been an attempt to make a rivet for a temporary fix on something. It is a very odd shape... The horse object may be a rosette center.

003 (2).JPG004 (2).JPGhere are a few more pics. I think the bell is off a alarm clock. I had found two other peaces of a clock close two the bell. The bell and horse are early 1900's and the others are from mid 1800's (found a 1850 and 51 large cent there.

The horse item is a turn-of-the-20th century "open work" button. It may have been backed with fabric.
