does anyone know what it is...question #2

[GRAY GHOST]

hello again all, i also found this small thin brass piece at the 1850's homesite. looks like a small piece of iron strip riveted on the inside. i've got like 6 of these, but don't have a clue as to what they are or do. some of the other pieces have fabric attached to them. theyr'e about 1and a half in. long, and 3/4 in. wide. again, any help is appreciated! hh,

hello all, heres another pic, this time with more pieces and a similar smaller piece with fabric attached. its hard to get different angles, cause theyre so flat! made of thin brass and each has what looks like an iron rivet. thanks!
