Someone tell me what these are.

One of them had a stone in it when I found it, the stone fell out, and I was unable to find it. It looked like amethyst. Made me a llittle sick when It fell out. Pieces of it are still in the piece. Probably date to the late 1800's

Possibly hair combs?

Fancy suspender clips , or a two piece hair clip possibly.
Shame about losing the stone, although it was probably glass, if it has shattered as you describe.

What size are they?

may we see a photo of the back of those pieces?
they look like sweater broach. grannie used to wear them.

These are one, and a half, by 3/4 inches. The back has nothing on it. Its smoth with a tiny hole under where the stone was. One has the entire stone insert missing. It looks like a flower reath around to area where the stone was, and the rest of the area on the front of it. There is an area on it that shines like brass.

I think its part of a Victorian ladies sash buckle. Its the central piece which pivetted on each end & the grip at the bottom held the fabric & therefore the buckle in place. The rest of the outer piece of the buckle is missing (ie. the main frame).

That sounds reasonable to me. I thought it might be something like that. Just not for sure.

I'd say hair combs as well! the teeth have come off from being in the ground!

 

[Old River]

I believe they are to small to be combs. The teeth are not deep enough. Looks like small grabber teeth to old a belt together.

so you don't feel that the teeth have corroded off
