These things are heavy, about 2 ounces each and they are about 1.5 inches in diameter or across. The one with the letter I has a building on the reverse side that looks similar to a school house. The one marked S has the letter S on both sides. They appear to be made out of iron or pot iron, as they are attracted to a magnet.
These are pendulum bobs, typical of key-wound mantel clocks of the first half of the 20th century. One on the left is for an Ingraham clock, one on the right is for a Sessions.
They are the weights for clock pendulums. The one on the left is for an Ingraham. My Ingraham Black mantel clock has the identical one installed. My clock was made in Conn. by Ingraham between 1870 and 1880.
