Question:
In 2009, the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, was shown a strange object. It was made of brass and had no inscriptions or markings. The lady who presented it said that according to family lore, one of her ancestors, a Confederate soldier, had used that object to smuggle secret messages. Museum officials were intrigued by the object, but the lady declined to donate it.
How did the lady who showed the Museum officials that special object call it?
