I have seen that wire wisk looking thing before, but, I cant quite put my finger on what it is.

The other thing looks to possibly be an ornate window or door latch.Does it swivel?

Nice finds!

It's part of a Victorian window sash lock.

Here's a similar one (repro) being made today:

That wire thing was used to secure your tv cable or telephone cable to the pole or house. When you run the cable thru it, it holds the cable tight to take up the slack.

Bingo! I knew i seen one before. I kept thinking electrical crew crap but the cable thing didnt dawn on me. Good ID!
