flashlight end cap? cuff link or earring??

[vanoldschool]

two items, pics not that great, small round item has a screw post no other markings, either a cufflink or an earring? The second item has a 6 point star in the middle with numerous small stars around the edge, on the back side it has white powdery substance...Battery acid maybe?, you can also tell mabe a spring went against the back of it, sorry about the pics again, these were found at a house built in 1865

My Wild Guesses are;
you are probably correct on the flashlight theory
and on the right a 'screw-back' earring.

Along with the obvious (a better pic ), some idea of scale will always help with an ID.

Cheers, Mike

Edit: I'm sure I've seen other examples of the torch cap, here on T'Net. If you are really keen to know, you might search this site here http://www.flashlightmuseum.com/flashlights.cfm

Try to take a good quality pic in outside daylight and post pic.

Agree with the ID's. I think the earring style is 1920's.

Added:

The screw back earring slips over the earlobe and then a small screw is tightened to secure the earring to the ear lobe. The screw back earrings date from 1894 and were very popular into the mid 1950s.
