Here is something to think about. I was told in the early days they would put copper coins on the eyes of the dead when buried, just a thought.

Ashtray and Coasters sound like good theories. I see your in MA and there is a Linnehans, ME. Looks like F.D.Linnehan on the back so it may have something to do with the town in ME. Just a thought...

Good luck

I intended to add butter pat but got distracted by something shiny and forgot.

Interesting finds Chris!
I did a Google search and failed to find anything even somewhat related to F.D. Linnehan on-line.

Nice finds though,
