Took advantage of a 70 degree day in January and found a couple little relics at a colonial site with James that we had hit before. Any idea what a couple of these items are? I've seen this tool before just couldn't track it down on the forum here. The second item is very thin brass and looks like it originally was the shape of a bag used to decorate a cake with. It literally crumbled in the hole. I've got quite a few of the pieces of brass but this is the majority of it. Thanks for the help.

the one on the left is a type of door hasp, and the one on the right looks like a ford hub cap

Definitely not a ford hubcap. I'll try and get better pics so you can see what I mean. This was something that appears to be intentionally folded and it is only about 1/2 of the gauge of an antique hubcap. Regarding the other object, I've been trying to find a picture of a hasp that leads me to believe that this is what it is. If it is a hasp, I've never seen one with this shape opening for the latch. I have seen ones with a straight slot on them but never this C shaped opening.

Well then .. Perhaps these pictures will help convince you:

Thanks MudHut. I've got another hasp that had a different shaped slot on it. Great help. I appreciate the help. I wish I could get a better pic of the other for you.
