Good guess, they are fly terrets, the ones in my photos are mostly just for
decoration on work horses, but similar items that don't have the center part
are used as guides for reins.
A while ago I had posted a strange looking item that the owner had said was
a hood ornament for a car but I'm pretty sure that it's actually a fly
terret, a photo of it can be seen here:

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2413) Too small for a horse.
Perhaps a harness for drawing a cart using a goat?
2414) A multi-position stop for something like the push
handle on a lawnmower. A lever on the handle would connect to
the left-hand eye, and it would pivot on the right hand eye. It
would have to move a certain distance to allow the locking pin
to move from one slot to the next to lower or elevate the
handle.
2415) Perhaps for making cubes of potting soil and poking holes into
which to place one seed per cube.
2416) Mirrors which normally hang with the reflective surface pointed
away?
Targets to designeed to spin around the pivot when hit? (But
that small, it would be likely that the decorative frame would
be hit too often.)
2417) Interesting. I can only make a guess here.
The rim mounts a reflecting lens, which is designed to focus
just a bit below the conical hole in the upper frame. This
could be used for heating something in a crucible mounted in the
conical socket which protrudes below the frame to protect the
frame from being in the primary focus.
The figures are probably inches of focal length for the
reflective lens.
If the conical hole were faced the other way, I would expect a
refractive lens instead of a reflective one, but with the
existing hole, the contents would fall out too easily.
2418) A hand powered hedge trimmer -- cuts one tooth worth at a time
because the force required to cut all at once would be too great
for easy hand operation.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
