Don't know what this is. About the size of a quarter. Looks like a little "4" on the bottom of one side. Heavy for the small size.

Also found the little "footballs" around the same area. Thought they were fishing weights at first but not very heavy. The writing is all worn off them.

Although I have not seen that exact one before, but your first item should be a curtain weight or hem weight. Your footballs is off a girls charm bracelet.

Thanks duggap.
Wasn't expecting a reply before I even saw my own post went up!

Will have to drag out a few other mysterious items.
First time so I wasn't sure my pics would be clear.

Very cool. Do those football charms have a number or team name on them? Back in the day, those were given to football players. Some were gold. Now rings are more commonly issued.

yep, lead hemweight for sure :yes:

I remember getting one of those footballs when I played way back in the late 1960s. The high school team always got jackets, but the junior high team got those footballs on a chain. Ours had the school's initials in raised letters on it.

There is no writing on them. I thought there was some worn off the front, but seems it was just the laces design after seeing some other ones online. Searching for "old football charm".
