The stick thing looks like something textile related, like for spinning or weaving

Re: two items from old farm..........

Re: two items from old farm..........

The bone (graining looks like bone) item is most likely what has already been said a hair item. The other oriental item appears to be a compact cover, (face powder, rouge). It original most likely had a mirror and of course the rest of the case.

I think the "coin" is the tongue portion of a two-piece buckle.

Could your stick item be an ivory toothpick?

very possible as it does have a sharp point

Re: two items from old farm..........

ok here is an updated picture, I do not think it is a hairpiece, look at the size of it beside the ruler. I think the hairpiece was much longer. It has a fairly sharp point as well, the toothpick idea is a possibility

Nice. Is the "coin"/"buckle tongue" silver?

That pointy thing is a dart used by Bruce Lee in the movie Return of the Dragon. He carved them himself jgas

I agree with shaun that almost certainly the first relic is textile related, and most probably a fid used for knotwork.

it looks like it may be silver plated, and brass or copper underneath, on the back the plating is worn off in places where u can see the underlying metal which looks like brass or copper

goes4ever, buckles would really have to see the back to confirm whether or not it is part of a two piece buckle with the tab hook broken off. Look for small trace of grey solder on the back, either in the middle to hold a single flat loop, or two small dots to hold a wire loop.

hey there is two marks that look like solder..........here is a pic

Great! Then if everyone agrees the first thing is a fid (matching the one in the link) and the second is half a buckle you've got an I.D..
