Several items I need help Iding

[johnreb1980]

I have been going through my junk box that I keep and through everything in after going mding. I have 5 items so far that I can really put an id or time period on. The last item seams to be made of lead,but not really sure what it is. I was thinking that a wire might have fit on it,but after looking at it further I don't believe so. The object also has a dot in the base of it. Any help with any of the items will be greatly appreciated,thanks Jonathon

I thing #4 is a photo frame. #5 looks like a bullet that has been reshaped for some other purpose.

No. 5 looks like it could be a nipple protector or a fishing weight...d2

first couple items look like hub grease caps or wheel caps
5 & 6 look like a battery cable end, safe to assume its copper?
Any sign of wires embedded into the end?
The hole would allow the wire end to be secured to a terminal

The 3 bottom pic's are of the same item,which is made of lead. There are no screw grooves through the hole showing ever having a screw passed through it in. No wire's in it either or any evidence showing that it has had wires in it.

About the last object: Would it work as a battery connector? The most common size would have a hole for a quarter-inch bolt. In tin-plated copper they come in all sizes from itty-bitty to huge. Perhaps an electrician dropped it before he got a chance to install it.

Item 3 looks like it may have come off of a saddle or harness. The harness straps often had those little bosses on them. The next one looks like a locket that would have had a picture in it.

#5 is a wire end terminal to go over a post bolt. it was probably new when dropped because the end the wire goes in would be crimped if used. (crushed on the wire). they have been and are made of several metals.
