That's not a fold its the corner of the object it "square" its flat on 2 sides and domed on 2 it is a solid constrution made of "brass" its just short of the length of a rizla packet 2 and a bit inch's The marks do sort of look like our modern day "ring shank" nails I just thought brass nails would be rather an expensive waste of brass which pointed me in the direction of thinking it maybe a cloths pin of some sort in a button/toggle kind of way -

The style of this I think would suggest its 17th-18th century "dandy's" style decorative shoe buckle maybe for decoration rather than functionality -

Maybe off a pony small horse harness deffo looks a functional object rather than decorative but cant find anything like it on the www to know for sure what it is Copper alloy (brass) hoofed feet off a cooking pot I doubt they are from the same pot as one is larger than the other, could be anywhere between 1200-1800 in date -

I believe this is a fake silver or gold ring it seems to be made of brass but has the word [SOLID] impressed/stamped into it which I think is to fool any one trying to buy into thinking it is real silver/gold probably post medieval in date
