Description

Outstanding gavel constructed from wood removed from the hull of the USS Constitution during the frigate's historic 1927 restoration, measuring 10˝ long with a 3.5˝ x 1.75˝ cylindrical 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 minor tarnishing to the plaque. Wooden fragments of the USS Constitution's original hull were popularly repurposed into high-quality, finished souvenir items like bookends, boxes, and gavels. A desirable salvaged relic from 'Old Ironsides.'
