The first Gig Harbor Now and Then Historical Item of Mystery — introduced at the end of Gig Harbor Now and Then No. 38, on Nov. 4, 2024 — is so mysterious that nobody figured out what it is. Well, except for Tonya Strickland, but the Gig Harbor Now and Then Item of Mystery Rules Committee disqualified her for being a Gig Harbor Now contributor.
Today, we introduce a new Item of Mystery, but this time someone other than Tonya will either figure it out or already know what it is. It will not remain a mystery for long.

Also unlike Item of Mystery No. 1, there will be no prize for the winning entry. I still have the 19 Marlboro filtered cigarettes offered for the correct identity of Item No. 1, but that is simply too rich a reward for today’s item…
