Need Help Identifying these Items

[kickboxingbabe71]

Does anyone know what these are??

All I see is what it is:  An assortment of odds and ends -- replica ancient coins, patches, tokens, labels.

Here's an informative article that tells about the history of tin tobacco tags.

Is that what they are?   I mean, are those all tobacco tags / premiums?   Very nice, if so.

Thank you. I thought they may be from cigars but wasn't sure. Are they worth selling? Are they collectible? All the information is much appreciated.

"Are they worth selling? Are they collectible?"

Yes, and yes. Tobbacoiana is a very active collecting field.

I personally would put these all in a lot on auction starting at $100, but it may be worth the time to do them individually. Good luck with them!

Much appreciated. I tried looking the items up individually to understand value but still am unable to find much of anything. Have 4 sheets may just auction off together. Thank you so much for the help.

You know that there's a dedicated category for them on eBay (Collectibles > Tobacciana > Tags)? I provided the link on your other thread:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=Tin+Tobacco+Tag+&_sacat=0 

And here are some that sold recently:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Tin+Tobacco+Tag+&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete... 

Of course, it's a sensible idea to research each one individually, as some may be more in demand than others.

Some completed lots (the prices in green are the ones that sold):

There seems to be pencil writing in your photo, can you read what it says?

Your collection was obviously put together long time ago. I wonder if that might actually give your sheets an advantage over some of the more clinically-presented lots on eBay. I suppose it depends whether collectors are looking for pristine examples, or something with a bit of character.
