Now these wont blow your head off but when you open a show box you never know.
A nice and smoke able Lincoln pipe and though I smile cigars I may try this.
A cool rosewood inkwell
A red artillery hat cord
4 various rifle caps...I would type the proper word but auto correct gives me a word I dont want.
A fired bullet with its rifle cap through it from C'ville from Stan Philipps in the late 60s.
AND 3 rusted pieces. In the mid 60s my dad took his boat out to old, and then falling down Ft. WARREN in Boston Harbor. He wanted us to see the widow ghost (which we did not see). But I did discover the room where VP Stephen's was imprisoned. Here is a drawer pull, a spike and a small prison bar "base".
Ok nothing super but a shoebox is a shoebox.

The Lincoln pipe is interesting - can you imagine if they had "Pez" dispensers during the civil war times - what fun.

Tompion is the word you're looking for. (I know what word the computer "thinks" it is!)
