Yesterday, my friend @oldmxrat and I decided to go back to a ghost town to keep exploring, since it was so huge. And this is what I found

Nice selection of recoveries. Liking the Davis painkiller bottle and the advertising tube. Possible pencil tube or match/needle tube.
Here's a brief history on the company as they were noted for their cream whiskey throughout the country.

Those Pre-Pro Whiskey Men!

Lot of cool finds there. I like the president suspender buckle. I can picture some fat cat sitting behind a desk smoking a cigar wearing it.

I hadn't thought about it 😅 Now I think that's how it went

The tube piece you found is the tube to a corkscrew. It is referred to as a “Picnic” corkscrew. Here is one I found years ago with the corkscrew still in it.
