Gavel constructed of wood removed from the White House during its 1927 renovation, measuring 11″ long with a cylindrical 3.5″ x 1.75″ head, bearing an attached metal plaque that reads: "’Certified by Centuries,’ From White House Roof, Longleaf Pine in Excellent Condition After 112 Years of Service—1815-1927.” In fine condition, with dimples to either end of head. Repurposed relics from the 1927 White House renovation are considerably scarcer than that of its 1950 successor, and gavels, in particular, are among the most desirable of the renovation formats.
