Default '32 V8 badge, Rad. cap & '34 hood parts. Junk?

These were identified by a respected fellow Barner but I don't know if they're junk. '32 V8 badge. Pitting and a magnet won't stick to it. Junk? '32 Radiator cap in decent shape. Has been hanging on the wall for decades. Magnet sticks to it, no visible numbers. Has a bit of heft to it as if it were built substantially. OEM? '34 hood badging I know is junk. Made in Argentenia, magnet won't stick to it, has a chip out of it. Wall hangers?
Thanks,
Tom

'32 V8 headlamp bar die cast zinc emblem isn't junk as it is an original and preferred by at least some of us to the available reproductions, which lack the cast-in part number on the back. That's a vented gas cap, not a radiator cap, post-'35 and not original equipment, but rather aftermarket. As the last two items are made of die cast zinc, of course a magnet would not stick to them, nor would it if they 100% original Ford items.

Thank you very much David! There's so much junk in the garage and me being ignorant I'm hesitant to make assumptions on all these parts, many of which I don't know what they are and more I have yet to exhume.
