Here's the photos of all the wonderful things that were discovered by Pam

[Butch in Colorado]

Pam and her mom went back to Up State New York for genealogy research on the Seeley family line. They are trying to find one of their relatives that has been really good in being able to not have much documentation regarding his whereabouts. One of their stops was back at her grandmothers home and a search through a couple of old trunks. The following series of photos are of the items that were located in one of those trunks. They all now have a happy home here in Colorado and have seen the light of day after probably over 50 years.

Enjoy, I know we have been!!!!

I know one of these is a Sharps and one is a round ball. The two on the left and the right have me stumped at the moment.

These are buttons of some type, anyone know what these may be from. No identifying marks are on the reverse of them.

The next series of photos are of some sort of tin or zinc (?) container. Anyone know what this may be, other than old?

My guess is that the round tin was for primer caps.Looks the same as one for modern caps.
