The popularity of this month's mystery item has waned, due in large part to technology. It
was
used for display purposes and most often found in general stores, pool
halls, and taverns. A man is more likely to know what it is than a lady -
though some would argue that a lady familiar with this item is no lady
at all.
The item has no markings and is approximately 4" long. To enlarge, click here.
Congratulations to Charlotte M. of Mt. Sterling, IL, for correctly identifying this month's item!
