While I was digging all those tags from the "Gold Recovery Device"s I also found a strip of lead that was rolled up and I didn't think much of it until just now, seeing as the machine the tags are from used molten lead to do its thing, this peice of lead makes more sense to me now. It's about 5" long an a little over 1/2 " wide, and is marked "CORBETT FAILING &C" with the rest being cut off.
I've discovered that the company was a mercantile business located in the Portland Oregon area, and also supplied a lot of mining supplies.
"In January, 1871, the mercantile interests of Mr. Failing and Mr. Corbett were consolidated under the firm style of Corbett, Failing & Company, an association that was maintained for twenty-two years, when Mr. Failing withdrew, the partnership being dissolved."
