Gavel constructed of wood removed from the hull of the USS Constitution during the frigate's historic 1927 restoration, measuring 10″ long with a cylindrical 3.25″ x 2″ head, with the original bronze plate reading: "This material was taken from the original hull of the U.S. Frigate Constitution, Keel laid 1794, Rebuilding 1927." In fine condition, with some verdigris to the plate. A desirable and uncommon souvenir format from the historic 1927 renovation.
