I think what you have is a piece of a stirrup.

I've never seen a stirrup like that. It is made to fit into something

#2 picture kind of reminds me of a handle off a kettle or similar vessel, except for the pointed end doesn't make sense.

This area has produced many round balls and several tea kettle points so that could be about right. Thanks for the help
