"Mr. Deeds Goes To Town"

In this 1939 Frank Capra film, Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper) plays a simple-hearted tuba player who inherits 20 million dollars along with a boatload of problems, so decides to give the money away. Hundreds of people line up at his door as Deeds takes on one recipient at a time until exhausted and hungry. Next in line to recieve his share is Mr. Svenson. Deeds asks Svenson if he can wait a few minutes while he stops to have a quick sandwich. It so happens Svenson is holding a paper bag from which he produces a sandwich and hands to Deeds. What was the 2nd item Svenson took from his bag?
