Can any one please help with an identification and value on the following three items? I have been told that the third item is known as a 'Thousand Stitch Belt' but I'm not sure what it was to signify or used for.

In advance, Thanks Very Much.

That bottom one does not look like the few belts that I have seen. More like a 1000 stitch good luck emblem of some kind.

Thousand stitch belts were bought by family members for soldiers heading off to war. Relatives, friends etc added a stitch until there were a thousand. Some were home made others were manufactured.It was a good luck belt & a type of talisman for protection going in battle.There were many different styles of thousand stitch belts. This is one variation.
