One old baseball cleat? One thingamabob

[Bunker]

Hi All,
Found this at the old farm I hit this week up in Va. Kinda looks like an old cleat off a shoe.
The small disc is heavy and rough to the touch. Not sure what it would have been used for. This one is a longshot!
Thanks in advance!

The top one reminds me of my old metal wheeled roller skates from the 70's, hard to tell lol

The second item resembles a floral frog with the spikes broken off.

Floral frogs were used to anchor floral arrangements.

Willie D...I think you nailed that one. I will close the book on that one. Just one more left.
Thanks,
Bunker

I don't think the first one's a cleat, those are rivets, I can't help thinking I've seen something similar to it somewhere, but for the life of me I can't think of where.

Yes I agree brass rivets. It looks familiar. It may have been riveted to leather.

Can we see a picture of the item laying flat, looking straight down, to see the shape of the opening??

On a trip right now. Will photograph it when I get home. Thanks for your input.
