A red wooden sled. And, yes, in real life Rosebud was reportedly the nickname Hearst gave Marion Davies labia. But the movie was sort-of fiction, and Wells could hardly have gotten away with coming any closer than a sled to placing the name on the right object. On the other hand, there was undoubtedly an interesting connection between the sled which symbolized Kane's loss of his mother, and..... Hey, it was a movie. A brilliant movie, but a movie none the less. B.
