Could you take some pics with a size references or give us the sizes? Also try to use any color background but white. The top item looks to be part of an antique brass lamp. Is the rust tail part a wire? Neat finds :) Breezie

I agree, I thought the first looked like the top of a lamp with attached wire. Just guesses here, but the second looks like an opener of some sort and last looks like a drain plug

Oh the one I said looked like a drain plug... Could be tbe loop of a lock... Where the latch swings over it and a lock is put through the ring

The piece with the loop is more than likely a padlock 'staple' as Holly posted. The staple could have been used for any type of padlock or for an attachment to connect a 'snap hook.' :) Breezie

Here are some ideas... imagine your "curvy" item with a spring handle and it looks much like a lid lifter.

Looks like the rod that go's through a wood stove pipe damper. The iron rod would be around 8 inches long.

The last pic that looks like a "stopper" might be part of a pump. The ones I've seen/used sat on top of a cistern w/ a pipe going down from the "pump" above the ground level. A chain looped from the water,up through the pipe and back down. These "stoppers" had a rubber cork like device under the part you have. They were separated by 8-12 inches between stoppers. The ones I'm speaking of "cranked" in circular motion, not up and down like a hand pump. Most are marked by holes punched out of the metal spelling GEM. Just a guess.
