First item, looks like a bullet, or is it some kind of lipstick? Found homesite 1910-1990.

I think this is one of those $40k 1943 wheat pennies. Someone really didn't want to lose it, so they holed it...
 

That penny looks like someone assassinated Lincoln again. Only this time they used a .22.

I agree, except a .22 usually bends the coin. Perhaps it was hammered flat after being shot?

....The first image could be a vintage inhaler...

Killer ID 4x4x4!

I have never seen one those inhalers before. Very well done.

Pardon me please, guys, but it is not an inhaler... at least, not like the inhaler in 4x4x4's photo. The grooves/ridges on the inhaler are threading for the screw-on cap, so they "spiral." The grooves/ridges on pa-dirt_nc-sand's mystery object are simple rings, no spiral.

"Extracted the bullet from the casing"
The piece inside is iron, the rest is brass.

It looks like left handed threads from here, and has a hole in the tip.
