Send someone something to collect a dollar from the other party?

I remember my mother telling me that when she got married, my aunt and grandmother (my grandmother's sister, my mother's aunt) gave her a clock, as if she also wanted a dollar, that clock was used for many years, I was still in college, and then I noticed that the clock was missing, and my mother said that it was broken and threw it away.
