In reference to the last pic of the long slender piece, I've dug these in the Big Easy before and it was always told that they were possibly "gun oil bottles" for keeping the shooting irons from rusting outside in inside, but more likely wine testers that would fit thru the plugged hole in the wine barrel. They are mostly French I believe.

The chestnuts are nice. Oldest and most valuable of your shown items. I'm not an expert on those but I'd say early to mid 1800s on those, maybe a bit older.
