The brass thing is a leather bolt, probably for a harness. The nail thing looks like a hook to a coat board. the last item might be a hook for a window, but that is the thing i'm the least sure about

Yeah, horse leather rivet (holds two bits of leather together. Not sure on the ironwork.

I don't know what it was a fastener for, but I agree that's a rivet.

I found these items today in the same field that I found a number of circa 1780's buttons (28 buttons to be exact). Does anyone have an idea what these items might be? I included a dime for size comparison.

I'd say pic Nr.3 is an old side hook for holding down the motor hood/cover (4) of some 20's or 30's cars and pick up models. ::)
