Those are percussion caps, not primers for metallic cartridges. What looks like a drop of solder is tinfoil put in to waterproof the cap.
The measure could be used with either powder or shot, and the other tool looks like a load starter for a muzzle loading shotgun. (The wad and shot were loaded, then the load started until it was past the muzzle and the ramrod could be used.)
