I am guessing some kind of civil war commemorative ring. And that's Robert E Lee.

It is a tobacco cutter. My dad sold chewing tobacco and snuff for 35 years, and collected old tobacco related stuff.

Ranman that has to be worth some money! I was trying to look at the date on the cutter but all I could make out was Dec. 1 maybe 1816
