I think it was a talisman to ward off bad ratings.

She said it was a dream holder for him to make a wish and put it in the bottle, she also said his destiny was in there.

It was actually a chinese snuff bottle, looks like it was made out of jade. Stevie said "it was probably originally an opium bottle." I saw a History Detectives segment on PBS about early Chinese immigrants and opium paraphernalia, and it seems 90% or more of things that are labeled as such are incorrect. What she gave him was simply a snuff bottle... they were made of everything from ivory, to jade, porcelain, etc. Not sure where she got the idea that it was a dream holder... probably something it was labeled as in some kooky NYC shop just to try and get rid of it .

Tobacco in powder form. My great grandmother used it - she kept an empty Folger's coffee can next to her chair that she would spit in.
