| Gardner's
Baby Cup (1889). The date of birth is correct, and it was recently found only
70 miles from his birthplace (at Brimfield, Massachusetts). Checking
through records, courtesy of the Mormon Church, this appears to
actually be the famous author's tin baby cup. Complete with enclosed
"rattle" in the cup's base, a precursor to what would shake
the literary world some years later - Cup from
