Thanks, I'm ready to do some digging any time, Jed and i have been digging fools lately!!
 

Great finds! Just for your information, digginthe1, the lead item with the backward print and the star with the bottle in it is a lead mat for printing the advertisement in a day when the used lead mats and linotype machine for printing the newspapers. In the mid 1960's when I was in high school, I worked in a small local newspaper in my hometown. I was the guy who poured the lead for the mats and the linotype machines. My title was known and " the devil's apprentice!"

Congratulations on all your finds. Thanks for sharing.
