Found a pre-1900's house site with some good finds. These 3 things have me scratching my head. Feel like I should know but . . . (Penny and dime are in the picture for size)

1) Hollow tube... spout or mouth piece of some sort?

2) Brass or copper nipple type thing. Maybe part of a leather clasp/latch?

3) Silver knob or roller thing. Rings up silver. Sewing thing maybe?

Can anyone shed some light on these?

Thanks and HH

Last one almost looks like the roller from a pulley or possibly the handle for one of those manual retracting tape measures.
 
Middle item looks like part of a charger from shot flask.

Kinda like this and one a friend found, little different but same idea.

Second item looks like a button snap, silver looks like an ear gauge. Yes I could be wrong

I believe you have it!!!!! Thank you! looking closely it does look like they go together. I think you solved two in one shot! That is really interesting! I would not have guessed that and have been searching old post all day. Looks like a match to me. Even a notch in the tube that matches a slot on the nipple thing. What do you think?

The silver thing looks like it has a through hole in it. If so, it is either a roller guide or a decorative bead. It looks like a roller guard for a sewing machine or fishing reel or rod.
