Black cat bone
Puckett says: Or you just cook it and take the last one left.

He says that when it's put in the mouth it's supposed to make you invisible and basically able to do "anything whatsoever" that you choose. Or, to make contact with the devil: trim nails wicked short, go into crossroads at midnight, bring guitar and black cat bone, then play your best song. The devil will come and you'll be a great magician, but sold to him ever after.

And Morrow:


 * Said that cat screams while boiled, and hoodoo may have visions of awful things, esp. Hell
 * Doctor Watson (?) sold a Black Cat Wish Bone, which he said would make you clairvoyant/rich/police wouldn't touch you. $100!
 * Sovereign Products Catalog, Chicago, 1936 -- sold plastic facsimile cat bone
