Cheers Paul,

I am thinking the same, the middle one has a hole in it, and iron bits behind, I am being drawn towards some lock type thing

Not sure about 1st one, but horse mount thingy seems to be the universal answer to these sorts of things
Second i think you could be right with the lock covering, although i would expect the opening to be key shaped.....
Third thing i also agree is a furniture finial thingy...
Nice finds
