Hey everyone, .. i have 2 items i dont know what they aare or the exact material they could even possibly be made from ..

Any ideas? Also if you have any idea on era or age please share


●Also if anyone has an idea how i can safely clean up this metal piece without damaging it please let me know

They were both found on a farm in Southeastern Pa. I have found a few arrowheads and a ton of pottery on the same land over the past few years.

Looks like a clay pipe stem is one, other looks like a button but also kinda like a top of a labeled nail type that was on windows, not sure about that though

Definitely a tobacco pipe stem and possibly a work clothes button

Believe it or not... I believe your other item might be a wheel off a small toy cannon... or the likes.

Just a shot from the hip.

Your pipe stem looking piece could also be a wire insulator for an electric fence they had long cylinder styles also, besides the wrap style where you wrapped the wire around the insulator, this type the wire ran through it instead.
