Just some things over the years that haven't been identified. Maybe some different eyes can help. Iron piece with little hole in it looks like part of a gun ,idk. Object I'm holding appears to be cast iron. One end is threaded and body had teeth of some sort. I know the one piece is probably a keyhole cover. Has "A. Thompson" on it. Other 2 1/2" x 3/8 is a solid chunk of lead. No idea about that one or the other 2 brass pieces. Thanks for looking

In the picture 173000 has a slight resemblance to a trigger

Never thought of scissors. Might be. Did think of comb but seems too heavy for that

I was leaning towards that too but not sure

I think: 29 is the top opening of a knife scabbard , 30 is a trigger. Those suggestions and $5 will get you a cup of coffee.

This is part of a Hot Cold (aka: Pressing Comb) used to straighten black's hair

Cool. I think you might be right.

Wish I would have found this site years ago. Would have saved me a lot of head scratching. Thanks for all y'all's replys

Had an old bayonet with leather scabbard that had a similar piece at the top to keep it open and protect the leather I suppose. I repeat "similar". I sure as heck have no expertise, not even a little knowledge, in this area. Just brought it to mind.

Post a picture of the back of this piece, please. It may be a key hole cover.

Scabbard piece seems to be likely. I'll happily agree. Thanks sandog

I agree on that one, a part of a pair, or a wick trimmer.
Pretty sure the item isn't a trigger.

the round lead piece is most likely the weight from a clock pendulum. I agree with broken scissors or candle snuffer for the broken item. Can we see pics of both sides of the crescent shaped thing?

Crushing my hopes on not being trigger but I'm not going to call it something it's not. Thanks for insight pepperj

Crescent brass is plain on other side but I'll get pic when get home from work.

 

[Sandog]

On further perusal I concur, looks like broken scissors. Interesting how the mind works, isn't it? Just needed a little poke

Can you make out the lettering on it?
