Description

Independence Hall

Fragment of wood from Philadelphia's Independence Hall, 1.25 x 1, affixed to an attractive presentation certificate produced by the Wolf Art Co. in 1926, reading, in part: "Historical Wood Relic from Independence Hall. This piece of wood was cut from the original timbers out of which Independence Hall was built by Andrew Hamilton, 1732 to 1735 inclusive." The timber was recovered from the flooring of Independence Hall by Samuel Reeves during its 1897 restoration. In fine condition, with blocks of toning to certificate.
