Button, Iron and Brass... A Whatsit For Everybody To Help With

[tymcmurray]

I was cleaning out my "junk" bucket and found four items
I just can't part with until I know for sure what they are.
They all four came from a corn field at Antietam.

The first is a button that I mistook for a shotgun shell bottom.
Front says "Rabus Ft Wayne"
Back says "C. Watkinson"





The next one is brass but unbendable by my hands. I think
it may be a spur rowel, but it is kinda thin.





The next two are Iron pieces that I just can't figure out.







Thanks for any help!

Good idea, but too small and has gold gilt on it.

The design is just straight lines directed from the center out. That is where
most of the gilt is still located.

I'm guessing the first 2 pieces are from a clock works.

Some of those old grandfather clocks had the fancy gears you could see through the glass. The fist iron piece...I know I've seen it somewhere, but again...It may be the same clock...where the weights were attached to power the clock works....once it got to the end you had to pull the weights back to start the clock again.

I cant find anything on that first button except that there is a Rabus Drive in Ft. Wayne Indiana. Is it iron?

the one iron thing looks like it had gear cogs on top and perhaps the bottom fit into a notch say like to lower or raise elevation on something? Monty
