Unlocked: History of US in 100 Objects #20 -- Silver Beaker with Devil and Pope Figures

Unlocked after one year for patrons only: A silver beaker engraved with figures of Satan, the Pope, and the "Young Pretender" (also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie") shows how French, Dutch, German, and English colonists in colonial New York united around fear of Catholicism and the Jacobite menace.
