heres some items i found at a possible homestead. was wondering if piece on upper left could have been a part of an old lock. the center piece says golden slipper and ive notice some ads for cigarettes from around 1883 that has this exact picture on the cigarette pack. civ relics 001.JPG civ relics 002.JPG

Hey bufaloelectric,

Sorry, I cannot see details in your photos. I think you're on the right tobacco track:

They were a product of Lynchburg:

"Cigarette brands of the Smyth, Woodson and Payne Company were Greek Slave, Maud Muller, Buck Eye, and Rink while the Lone Jack Cigarette Co. manufactured Lone Jack, Ruby, My Sweetheart, Golden Slipper, and La Hidalquia." Cigarette Pack Collectors' Association
