Wooden Judge's Gavel
Judge's gavel to the best of our knowledge, based on the size of each piece, when a man holds the handle it is one eacy movement to strike the desk. Extremely heavy, 1 lb. weight, not a kitchen tool! (COOL indicates item is at one of our brick and mortar shops, please inquire item may still be available. ) Approximately 6" long handle and 5" wide 9 " circumference end. Very primitive in appearance, well used by the "dings" in the wood. If still available we have the shackles to go with it.

Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln Portrait. I don't know the media, This portrait of Abraham Lincoln looks much like the Nutting style hand colored photographs. The face is very detailed with deep lines over & under his eyes and to the sides of his eyes. His brow is lined, with deep lines onto his nose. He looks Sad. He is dressed very formal with a pleated front shirt, wide lapels, and an interesting braided cord of some kind on his vest. Framed 13 1/4 x 10 1/2.
