What the Heck are these two things?

[vzhuntrs]

The first picture appears to be a white piece of metal, each copper strip is a different lenght, and they face different sides on front & back. I was thinking a piece to an instrument of some sort.. but that is totally a guess

The other item is a copper chain link thin, against a leather strap...

We have located all of the items surrounding a foundation, we have pieces that date 1888, see my other photos, found horsehoes, hinges, horse & buggy steps and other various pieces... Any help identifing these would be greatly appreciated

Are they reeds to a musical instrument - each being a different note?

The first piece is a reed plate from a German made Aeolian. The second looks like a part to a link-style belt.

If the size is correct, I agree with Creskol on the belt possibility. Research 'Electric belt' and see if you can find a match.
