Left hand sides looks like a foot off something. The one on the right I’ve no idea. Intriguing and worth keeping till you get a eureka moment 

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking

Left hand side looks like a cup hook, any iron visable in the base of the widest bit ?

Looking at the back of the larger item. At the top, at the recessed section , is it hinged. Keep thinking of a door Knocker, p-robably wrong.
How much does lead sell for ?
Cheers,
Dave.

Scrap lead is £1 per kg . I had 58 kg . Its worth keeping til youve got loads.

The one on the right is something I have seen somewhere before. Can't call to mind precisely but door catch related. The round bit is exactly the same as I see on door bolts and catches/ spring latches here in France and dating from early 18th to late 19th century in broad terms.
