I need some advice on whether these bedhead/headboard ornaments are in the right category. I couldn't seem to find where they fit best, or whether I have named them correctly.

They came off a '60s bed but there doesn't seem to be an area for this type of thing in the bed section.

Seeing that there are only three of them and they all have holes going through, I would think they are ornamental pieces that usually sit in the center of the bed head with a cross bar under and above.. The four end knobs on the bed would have been brass.
Late 1800s - early 1900s
Google " ceramic bed head knobs" and you will find one of the description I gave.

BTW, my daughter was given a wrought iron bed with similar decorations, for a wdding present 38 years ago. The giver was a gentleman in his 90s. He inherited house and contets from is mother, who came to Australia in the late 1800s.
Just explaining my estimation of age.
I am not an expert. :8}

Dates to about 1960s 70s. They are brass bed (or copies of) the centre ornaments. With only three they are most likely off a single bed.
The pressed tin end ends of them, gives them away as being 60's or most likey 70s.
By the way, the scene on them is called "Courting Couple".
