Real sweet that pattern 1851 sword plate. It appears to be the one piece cast brass same as I found years ago. The ones with the applied wreath often are missing it. The other item I cannot place but you should have an easy time getting info on it. Congrats!

Second item looks like a telegraph tapper, thing-a-magig.

The other object is a shot flask spigot for a black powder shotgun. You tip the shot flask to load it with a measurement of shot and then push the cutoff and pour the shot down the barrel. I used to hunt black powder shotgun so have used a new version.
