My guess is an inkwell and my wife thinks the key looking one might be a clock hand?
Putting it out there for the pros to identify [emoji57]

The first thing that came to mind on the pointed object was clock hand to me also. Especially if the hole is serrated around the inside edge to hold it in place. Sub 8-)

The round tin with the center hole is the needle box out of an old Victrola:

Great ID. We had a wind up Victrola when I was a kid, but I didn't remember the needle container, although I do remember changing needles. Didn't have many records, but Burl Ives singing a sea shanty was one I remember.

Thanks! Great I’d on the needle jar.
The small brass key doesn’t appear to have any serrations in hole and seems too heavy for any type of wind up clock.
I’ll clean it up a bit and repost it if it begins to keeps me awake at night
Thanks guys!!
