Description

Mallet constructed of wood removed from the hull of the USS Constitution during the frigate's historic 1927 restoration, measuring 11.5″ long with a 2″ x 1.5″ x 3.25″ head, with a descriptive plate reading: "This material was removed from the U.S. Frigate Constitution during Reconstruction, 1927." In very good to fine condition, with some verdigris and heavy patina to the plate and bands on the mallet head; one of the bands has popped open and is somewhat loose. A desirable and uncommon souvenir format from the historic 1927 renovation of 'Old Ironsides.'
