I found this chunk of metal a few days ago along with the barber quarter I posted. After a few days of soaking in vinegar I was able to read the writing on the back and research it's origins. It's the logo of Drummond Tobacco Co. out of St. Louis. This company was bought out in 1898 so this little guy is pretty old. Gotta love the strange pieces of history that you can with this hobby!
