The door to the dressing room burst open and a Colt revolver clicked

Dear f-list,

I need a McGuffin. Or rather, I need a name for a McGuffin. You know, like the Maltese Falcon, the One Ring, the Detachable Penis of Rassilon... You get the idea. It's for a story that a bunch of us are writing, which I will show you as soon as I've asked the other participants' permission.

The story's in a Wild West setting, so it can't be anything extraterrestrial (amusing as that would be - no, control yourself, Liz!)

Obviously I may not use any of the ideas. Equally obviously, I will be very grateful for any suggestions, whether I use them or not.
