Brown oilcloth tobacco pouch with a yellow drawstring closure. Remnants of polychromatic printed paper label applied to the front depicting spears and shields inside red rectangular panels, rest of label mostly missing. Long brown paper closure tab applied on both front and back of bag, the reverse bears a handwritten date "11-20-12" in black ink. Empty. Remnants of label match those of FIC.007604, which likely indicate Hiawatha brand smoking tobacco with what would have been an illustration of an American Indian figure inside a decorated canoe in the center. Hiawatha brand smoking tobacco was manufactured by the C.V. Winfree Tobacco Co. of Lynchburg, VA, which was the successor to Winfree & Loyd Tobacco Co. Christopher Valentine Winfree entered the tobacco business in 1958 operating under the partnership Winfree & Loyd from the late 1870s to around 1896 when he reorganized independently under the C.V. Winfree Tobacco Co. moniker. The American Tobacco Company then purchased the updated C.V. Winfree company in 1901. C.V. Winfree died soon after in 1902.
