Display or jewelry?

Just uncovered these pretty close together, but I don't think they're related. Any ideas? Pretty is two inches long. Little doodad's stick is about an inch. Thanks for looking!

Maybe a barrette or hair pin?

Looks like the lid to something.

Oh wow! Thanks!!!

I think your photos are upside down, and I think it's a latch to open a box or leather purse, and there is a spot for a name tag to go in.

Oh yeah, and the last item appears to be the metal part of a pencil eraser, with a bit of the lead from the pencil left. Of course that's a guess because I don't actually know the size, if it's as large as a 55 gal. drum, then I'm obviously wrong.

If it is not a pencle eracer case it looks like a Coaxial cable spice connector and depending on size the other item looks to be a house door mailbox lid or ashtray lid.

Definitely a pencil eraser! I'll get better at figuring these out as I go... The box top item is small - two inches long by almost an inch. Now I see the place for the hinge and the latch. Thank you!!

It looks quite a bit like a Delegate's badge/ribbon piece
Instead of a hinge, it's a bar to hold the ribbon.

Now that looks exactly like it! I looked up a few more examples and I think that's the winner! So what I was thinking was the clip to a barrette, was the pin. Thanks! I never would have figured that one out in my own.
