I'm new to this and not an automotive enthusiast, but curious as the next hunter who can't identify stuff. Finding stuff which belongs to several makes/models and seem to be pre-1930 but just guessing. I'm looking for specific "what-is-it" identifications. Thanks.

I may be way off but think it's one of 4 bolt used to hold the leather trunk in place on 1936-1938 Coupe, or Roadster

seldom. U think it's that old? In the "early" days "made in the U.S.A" wasn't common place. In the 30's everything was made in the USA. I don't think things saying made in America etc started showing up until over seas products started pouring into the USA. sometimes towards the 50's ...just wondering.

More things. Clearly a hood ornament and a tail light lens, but wondering about what might have been connected to them. I doubt they are from one vehicle.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
