I believe the last item is a WWII British cigarette ration tin can.

I can't find a good picture, yet.

I can't tell what is writen on yours.But it's a hobbleskirt form which is after 1915.
The most noted our the Christmas cokes which are dated Dec.25, 1923
After that came the Patend cokes which yours appears to be.Also looks like a Illinios Company bottle mark to me.
The info below will help you.
Take Care,
Pete,

According to this tin collectors web page, the cigarette box is from the 1950's.

Austria 3 cigarette, made after WW II until the late 1950's:

"cheap cigarette blend "Austria 3" produced in Austria after World War II and approximately until the end of 1950s. The blend was infamous for its awful taste, but Austrians in their teens at that time are likely to have had an "Austria 3" as their first cigarette".

I believe the first one may be a tent stake

[Matteo La Boccia]

Thanks to everyone for precious informations!! Some idea about first object (tent stake)?

 

[Kenosha Kid]

The hole in the tin can is a "V cut" and used by a lot of tobacco companies:

Though the writing is opposite (reversed) from the V cut on this one, it's very similar:

This one doesn't show the writing on the can but states the exact wording on yours (click on "view details here" below the picture):

http://picclick.com/2-ANTIQUE-VERY-UNUSUAL-TOBACCO-260684545152.html

This one was listed (no picture) with the same words (scroll down to words):

Unless there are other markings on yours, it might be hard to ID the exact brand/company, year or use (military/civilian).

No idea about tent stake??

 

[relichunters]

If the bottom of the Coke bottles has a city and state on it, they are quite old.

No idea about tent stake??

What are the letters/numbers after C. H & C ?

C.H & Co as in C.H & Company ?

Was it found in an area that a fair sized tent would have been?
The top looks more like a cable tie off rather than for a rope.

Possibly it's a guy wire anchor and not a tent stake.

Either way it appears to be a stake that attached either to a rope or a cable.
It obviously was struck on the top to drive it in.

I suppose it could have been used as a ground stake as in a ground for lightning protection.
It appears to be broken off at the bottom end, so it was at least 6" or so longer originally.

Is it bronze, copper, steel?

Only thing I turned up was a company that makes inflatables.
I suppose the stake could have been used to anchor one of their products.

The coke bottles look clear. I've been on earth long enough to drink a green 10oz crown cap coke right out of the coke machine, and I'm probably only the median age around here. I think the clear ones are from the 1970s or so. In Maryland returnable bottles went from 2 cents to 5 cents, afterward the clear ones were "No Deposit, No Return".
