I was browsing around looking for more information and found that the K. of P. is the name of a fraternal lodge
Knights of Pythias.
I guess it explains the artwork on the box. The FBC Shield, their motto “Friendship, Charity, Benevolence".
I have never heard of this lodge before. I don’t think anyone in my family was ever involved in it? None of my family on my maternal side, that I knew of, ever smoked. I knew most of my (living) family on that side of the tree. I attended several huge (maternal side) family reunions with hundreds of relatives in the summers when I was of school age. I loved those get togethers.
