First is a buck chuck?

Part of a chuck (headstock workholder) for a metal lathe? Doesn't look like a
full chuck to me.

Second is a thing. It is stamped Moseley It has a bunch of pointed
rods with tiny little horizontal holes near the pointed end.

A watchmaker's staking tool. The rods are the stakes to be inserted through
the top of the tool, and punched/pressed at work (gears, bushings, pins, etc.)
set on the tool's table. Charles S. Moseley was a 19th-century watch tool
inventor. The namesake company was out of Chicago.
