Messages like "May truth guide us" were once used to seal letters with wax, leaving a personal imprint of identity or belief. But this fob is different, and hides a secret. There's a barely visible hinge that allows a treasure, image, or lock of hair to be concealed under glass. What WAS the truth? WHO was concealed/concealing in 1820? The locket is empty now, and the secret is long lost.
