  Possible pocket piece.

  Interesting....obviously a personal memento, and perhaps intentional so others could not read it - at least casually. Cheers, RickO

  Could use some help on what it says on the face

  GARNER (?)

  or

  GAR NEB

  Could be J.E.M.'s birth date?
  Or a reunion of the G.A.R. in Nebraska?

  Looks like GARNER on the cheek. As for why it was made, you'll have to ask J.E.M. Post on the séance forum.

  Could be possibilities.
  I took a closer look at the cheek and it looks more like GAR. NEB.
  It is possible NEB. is for Nebraska.

  It's the day Edison's staff successfully tested a carbon fiber filament, making the first basic light bulb
