    Help! 1800s School House Finds

    I got out to the area of an 1800s school house today and dug a few items. I've been battling the snow and hard ground so it's tough but I dug this piece with some design on it. Can anyone help me out with identifying what it is? About 5 inches deep. I also came up with what I believe to be some sort of a tool. Not sure. ALSO this was sticking out of the ground. I've gotten responses with people saying its a horn other day it's part of a stool. Thanks for the help!!

    I have not a clue to the first two but the last looks like a cast metal axle housing for a small tractor or riding lawn mower.

    1st one looks like it was for an oil lamp where the glass rested onto the base.
