The clothing and appearance of the first picture would lead me to believe the picture was taken in the mid 1800's. I thought it might be an ex-president but I couldn't find one that really looked like this man at least not in the pictures I had access to. Good luck. He does have large ears like William Henry Seward but all I could find was a profile picture on him and he was a little older looking than this man so I am not sure if it is him or not.

The picture of the man is George Washington Duke (1820-1905) ... google Washington Duke and see the statue made from that picture ... he is the father of James "Buck" Duke who was the Duke of Duke Power Co, Duke Hospital, Duke University. The guy in the picture was in the tobacco business.
Washington Duke

I don't have any idea what the next thing is ... it could be an old wrapper from firecrackers or perhaps cigarettes ... they use to be quite fancy long ago.

Good luck and when you find out what these things are ... please post and let us know too.
