Default More mystery finds?

I could use your help Pappy! The first 2 pics came from same area. I have not a clue to what they are! Had a short time to hunt and this is the only finds other than mason jar lids w/ceramic and iron I found...the iron and these 2 finds were down close to a foot to foot 1/2.

Both items are right at 2 inches in length.
Would like to know what they are and age if possible!

The last pic looks to be a powder compact? Found this at another location. Any ideas and would like to know the age on this for the owner! Her mother lived at the house I hunted. She told me the house was over a 100 yrs old but mother moved in it in the early 1900's

Thanks for any information Pappy!

Pat

Hello Pat,
The first item is a Nice Heel Plate. The second item is a suspender buckle with a patent date. Check it closer!

Nice Finds, HH, Roger

Hey Roger

I see a Pat date of 1871...Help a girl out here!!!

Does this mean this item was made in 1871 or this pattern of the buckle was from 1871

Also has a number at the top of this item that looks like 398 or 39H at the top

PAT, ROGER is right on the money with the Heel Plate...Around early 1900's the Suspender Buckle around the early to mid 1900's and the compact with the ring design would be from the late 1920's. Nice items especially the Heel Plate...PAPPY
