At first glance, it looks all over the world like a large pane of funky old postage stamps. Today the pane, roughly 18 inches square, lies on a display case in the “history room” of the Old School History Museum (OSHM) in Eatonton’s Plaza Arts Center on Madison Avenue. (Actually, what visitors see is a laminated copy of the artifact, which is securely held elsewhere.)
