Does anyone have any information on what these four things are?

Item #1: Found at an early 1900’s house site, I think it’s made of brass or copper and has indentations on its rim. Length is exactly 1.4in

Item #2: Also found at the 1900’s house site. Kinda looks like a valve cap, but it has all these grooves and ridges going around it. Length is exactly 3in

Item #3: Also found at the 1900’s house site. Might be part of a locket because it has a hinge, but I haven’t seen a locket that’s so shallow. It’s got a hallmark in the middle which I can’t properly read, first letter is an S, and second might be a T so ST?.

Item #4: Found at a late 1800’s park. Looks like a button but I just want to be certain. Found quite a few of them in varying conditions (but all quite deep), some (like this one) are whole, others are cut/hit by a mower.

Thanks guys :) I'm working on my 'museum' of finds (with labels and ID's), and would like to know if any of these items are worthy of being added.

First things are heal plates from shoes, second was part of a razor. Last thing was a home made whizzer, might be made from a coin.
 
I see the word "walk" on the right side of the item with three holes, and a date possible in the middle?

You're right, I didn't see that! I scrubbed it with some steel wool and found there are a few more letters on it. Between the letters it is says

PAT
APPO
FOR
??ASY

Not sure what that could mean

Could be Walk Easy. They made an ointment and there was also a Walk Easy footpowder. Currently the is a crutch and cane company by that name but they started in 1991

Look up vintage walk easy on ebay to see the ointment and powder
 
Best guess is walk easy foot powder, the sprinkle top would be patent applied for
