Description
Circa 1857 Washington Plaque by James Crutchett and Abraham Demarest. Musante GW-330, Baker T-128. Copper electrotype in wood frame. Choice About Uncirculated.
79.3 mm (electrotype) 118.4 mm (with frame). The central shell is glossy medium brown with a gentle bend noted toward 11 o'clock. Interestingly, this bend resulted in a minor separation between the outer band and the interior portrait clarifying that the metallic shell portion was made in two parts, joined together. The frame, made from wood harvested from Mount Vernon, is nicely preserved. What appears to be the original hanger is intact but has been reset into the edge. A scarce type that is rarely seen this nice.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased on eBay, February 2005.
