But it was so close........thanks for sharing the other pictures Chris.

It appears to me that the "thing" the hand is holding is some sort of leather container, especially with the top cut like it is and the pattern on the black areas of the body. It looks like it has a snap type buckle (the black square), that would latch into the area that looks like an alien eye. Below that would be some sort of nameplate possibly for engraving your name on it or a name plate of the manufacturer with the rectangle piece below it being an engraving plate.

(edit) just another thought........it looks like a holder or holster for a tobacco tin. It looks to be the right size for one.

There are several of these for sale on ebay. Now everyone......go find the advertising piece that fits the card!!!!

I'm sure a lot of you have been patiently waiting 6 years for an update j/k

Finally was able to track down an original copy of the Twin Oaks Mixture advertising printed on the back of these scraps. Thank you to Ted Brown for helping figure this one out.

Wow Chris! Congratulations on solving your long sought after mystery. Truly appreciate the shout out and was more than happy to help. It was you that provided all the clues.

Were you able to actually obtain the Twin Oaks advertising piece?

[atx840]

Yep, I have a physical copy of the ad. It’s the right size and lines up. Fun to have figured it out. Thank you for your help on this one!
