"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

Alright - it's late and I've done as much hurricane prep as I can and it's time to hit the hay. I don't know if I'll have power tomorrow, so it's time for another hint. I feel bad about the first hint, so this one will have a little more meat on it. That's bit me in the tail before, but I am very confident no one will guess the third item.

Hint # 2 - One of the items Robert saved was presented to him by a White House servant who saw Lincoln with it in his hand shortly before he departed for Ford's Theater.
