The one piece is a pewter spoon fragment, but was hoping to get an age range on it.

The object closest in the pic I've found several before but could never figure out what they are. Any ideas? Age?

the last piece looks almost like some kind of spoon piece, but it's an odd shape. Any ideas? Age?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

The one is a rivet, maybe to hold a mud flap on or something like that. The thing on the right looks like a chunk of cast iron or spelter cast metal. No clue yet on that turtle shell looking thing. Maybe a tea spoon??... It looks like it's made of old patina aged brass?

That piece on the back right, I believe is a spoon fragment. It looks to have that clam shell design on the back side.

On the CTX, that other turtle shell looking thing rings up around a 12-26, so maybe it's old brass? It's looking a bit flaky, so I'm hesitant to try cleaning it at all.

I believe what looks to be a small spoon bowl is a pewter salt spoon which were made in various shapes back then.

I tend to agree the items date from 1850-1920. IMO
