Thoughts on these brass (?) pins

[Chitlin]

Such success was had yesterday I think I'll pester you good folks again today

I think these are brass but I dunno, they came up shining as photo'd, along with some War of 1812 goodies... but also a whole tassel of junk spanning the centuries. Ever notice sometimes you find something weird and you find 2 of them, then no more? . ... or is that just me?

Thanks for looking.

Although you would think with those cool buttons....... maybe gun related as they used them on guns brass pins.From the stock to the fireing mechanism,but most I think were iron(pins) & the ones that weren't should be more straight with bradded ends on both ends.Like the pic. below.So my best guess for yours would be a better match for clock parts.IMHO.
