I found these two pieces not far from a 1783 nova constellatio coin. I don't think they are the same time period but always wondered what they might be or what they went to. The largest piece has a P inside a shield. Has anyone seen this symbol before? The smaller schrolly thing is made out of what looks to be thin copper. What is it?

Hub cap looking thing is around 5 1/4 inches wide and has a copper look to it. Feels kind of heavy.

The top thing maybe related to Packard automobiles? The other possibly part of a decorative drawer pull?

The round thing looks a lot like one I found that says Pontiac. Mine is part of a radiator cap from the old cars that had exposed radiators.

You may be on to something. This Pontiac shield similar in shape. Look closely at the keychain. My computer wont open the link for security reasons.
