Found these the other day while hunting at the fairgrounds. I think one may be the innards of a brass door lock but I'm not sure. The aluminum disc, I have no clue. Thanks in advance!
Need help with two finds

I think the first one is a lock, second one a clock part although the finish on both is very similar. My opinion.

Thanks for the ideas everyone!
That was my other thought regarding the first item.
Had to Google this before it clicked in my brain as to what you meant by a toilet lock LOL
I think that may be a trick of the camera flash...the top two pics (same item) are brass/bronze and the third and fourth pics (same item) is more of a silvery finish, guessing aluminum as it is a pretty lightweight item.

Glad you asked...found this about 2 years ago. Early 1900s site. Figured it was either a clock part or music box part

I did not, but the more I look at it I believe it's a music box part. Looks like to me the little metal arms would strike the louvers in the round things as they might have turned

Something that only went one direction it appears, since the notches have an edge and then "ramp" out. Possibly a spring loaded winder housing? A music box sounds more relevant than a clock, since it's off centered. Probably had a rotating dancer or something. This is similar, but configuration is different, maybe no carousel on it. Only guessing!
