I'm trying to figure out what these are for and if they are missing pieces.
The first piece is heavy. The long part moves like a hinge.
This one is marked PAT Jan 15 78
These are marked Domestic PAT Nov 1869

They look like barn hardware. Stable doors maybe?

Not heavy enough for that !! Where did you find them and what is your location ??

I got them at a sale near Chicago. There was a lot of old hardware, hinges, chains, oil lamp parts; etc.
Here's some other things I found there.

Hmmm... @ this point the only items I'll speculate upon would be the 4-piece set of items ... I believe that they are a complete set (for one storm window/screen) of hardware that was used for the purpose of a 'hanger' for exterior wooden-framed seasonal treatments (as was the custom in the Mid-West , even when I was a kid) for casement windows .
The smaller pieces would be screwed to the trim of the house/buildings' window casings , and the longer ones would be screwed to a framed 'storm' window for the cold months , and the matching wood-framed screen would be used in it's stead , when the weather warms up . Usually had a steel 'screen-door' type of hook & eye (or two) to hold the things snug to the window frame .
Is it still a winter/spring ritual out thataways , the changing & stacking of the storms & screens , rustyattic ??

Those strap hinges are what we use on barns and stables !!

Yes!

The ones above the strap hinges with three of them, look like some I have seen on old wooden ice boxes !!
