Best Answer

The Pumpkin Papers or "Dumbwaiter Papers," were discovered in an old envelope tht was removed from a dumbwaiter shaft in Whittaker Chambers's nephew's, mother's home in Baltimore, where they remained for ten years. The name "Pumpkin Papers" is derived from the fact that the rolls of 35 mm film were found wrapped in waxed paper inside of a hollowed-out pumpkin on Whittaker Chambers's Maryland farm.
