Small flat button with shank large flat w/out shank some sort of lock plate maybe for a locker? And this strange piece of iron. Anyone got any ideas? Part of a shackle?

The oval item is a keyhole escutcheon. Possibly from a cabinet or desk drawer.
I don't know the other items.

I believe that the rusted spike looking piece could be from an wrought iron fence or gate, similar to the below photo.

the ,metal thing kind of looks like the top of a coal tongs with 1/2 the handle and 3/4 of the tongs missing...do they look like they were made to move ?
