Can you tell me how old these two bullets might be?

Not much there for a size reference or measurement. I'd guess 1870's to present assuming they are in the 0.400" to 0.450" neighborhood.
hi low boy they are civil war(yours not ours) minie balls ,the 3 band ones are usually union ones and the two band are confederate ones ,funnily enough i have just been researching these so i know the info is correct .they are called minie BALLS even though they are bullet shaped and they marked the transition from musket balls to bullets ,the hollow bottom was designed to expand with the explosive gases and therefore fill the bore
I believe they are more Indian War period.....
