I would say that the items other than the chain are part of a "single tree" which is the item that a harness hooks to in a horse drawn item.

item on the bottom appears to be a part of a water shut off valve.

I agree with Bowwinkles' identification of your finds. Except, the loop-like iron is from a wagon-tongue's doubletree. The word "double" is part of the name because it made for use by a team of two horses to pull the wagon. See the diagram below.

My first thought was a 19th century oil lamp chain.

Thanks Y'all .

I figure these pieces are so common that ill just recycle them , then we can by them back in another form , (not "trash" ..metal is $ ).

FWIW all 4 items were dug at different sites.

I got a whole pile of Iron that I want to make sure is not 'historically significant' before I recycle them.
Try to post some ASAP. As I have way to many 'What is it's' piling up.
Happy Afternoon/ Eve.
