🔎 UNIDENTIFIED More finds from the 1860-70s saloon site. Any ideas?

Hi all, I have two items that I’m unsure of. The metal one looks familiar but I can’t quite place it, perhaps a lantern part? The second I am unsure of. It seems to be ceramic and comes to a point. Seems like a long shot to me but sometimes you all surprise me. And finally just a little overview of some of the stuff I found. A nice glass ring dish?, some Chinese coins, bent ring, and the usual odds and ends.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

I believe that the second metal tube you have is a cap for early tires with inner tubes that ran through a wooden wheel. I have several caps like that on my 1918 Maxwell open touring car. These were common on the very early "brass" era cars.

Just wanted to add in case anyone else comes across this post in the future. I have recently found out through further research my “clay” piece is actually the tip to a slate pencil.
