First Picture has a Four leaf clover with what appears to have "No 110" inside of clover. Maybe from harmonica.

Clover brand harmonica or harmonophone. I can't find much info on the company. Not likely old enough to be civil war. I'd guess turn of the 20th C.

Item on the top right is a suspender clip, missing a few tidbits.

Some type of folding pocket knife maybe a Barlow.

Whitish thing in 4th pic is a bullet, maybe wadcutter? I wouldn't know what type even with a close up picture and exact measurements, but someone here would.

The bullet in the fourth pic is a 3 ring Minnie ball with the top cut off....maybe to make chess piece.
The Knife is 2 blades with one blade broken off. I Would like to find what the brand name might be.
The item in pieces, fell apart as I removed it from the hole. It is Brass and has a small rod attached to it. I can't make out any detail on it...
but was wondering what It could possibly be. I cant really figure out how it went together.
The large rusty object has what looks like places on back where it was attached to something.

Any ideas that could help research any of these would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you to all who have responded in the post above

I thought that at first but, the metal part at the blade end isn't long enough for a Barlow.

I can't find any thing on that company either. Thinking at this point it may not be a harmonica part. I have googled every possible clover thing I could think of to google.

One piece looks to be part to a stove grate or trivet just my lots.vanzutphen

D.C. Matt is normally spot on ask if he can send you a link so you can see it, him and nhbenz aren't normally wrong also Mackeydon is great with coins along with so many others I am not a knife guy but there are a lot that are great on here.

It seems Clover harmonicas were made by the C. A. Seydel Söhne company of Germany around 1900. They are still in business.

The reason I don't thinnk your relic is CW era is because, to my knowledge, only Hohner was producing harmonicas with metal cases in the 1860's and they were not yet shipping to America in any volume. Many harmonica reeds are dug in CW camps as it was a popular form of entertainment. But only the reeds survive as the cases were made of wood.

Thanks DC. I'll check into that and see what I can find. I wasn't sure if it was civil war but my curiosity was peaked when I made out the clover and the "No. 110". I thought it might be part of some type of early ammo tin.
Thanks again for your help
