Sorry to hear that you have not been well, Joe. I hope you get well soon.
You have acquired some interesting items. Can't see any cheques in the last post though.
The writing in the first post looks like "Lavilles mixture", or "Lavillis mixture".

Congratulation uncle Joe  Small but very nice set.

You have added a lot of cool items to your collection lately. My favorite are the hologram coin from Canada and the Celtics ring money.  Thanks for posting all of the pictures.
