Our Totemic Christmas Customs - #6

Some sort of purplish metallic thingy - from my great-grandfather's house.
A glass bell (one of six) purchased at Hilger's Hardware Store, Thiensville, WI - circa 1960.
Both ornaments must have been present at a fair share of Christmas celebrations presided over by an ailing parent.
I'll say no more. I'm going back to bed.
