And The Item is A.....



Ever wonder how they find cobblestones the same size to make a dwelling with? 
They use a cobblestone gauge!
 
The measuring instrument can be found over at our Made to Measure Exhibit in the Davis Opera House. 
 
The first person guessed correctly but everyone had some interesting answers. I especially liked the 19th Century Bubble Wand guess over on Facebook!
 
 Check back again as we'll make this a regular feature!

What is it?

Once in a while we thought we would try and stump our readers with a curious object from the 19th Century. I'm not sure this is a hard one or an easy one but I do know that I didn't know what it was when I first saw it!
Anyone care to take a guess?

Come back tomorrow to find out!



One hint-This item can be found in one of the museum's new exhibits this year!

Museum Employees-No fair telling if you already know!
