A neat, large cast bronze commemorative hatchet made for wall mounting, having an openwork bust of Washington facing left in the blade portion. Along the length of the handle is the legend Washington Inaugurated President Of The US - Apr. 30. 1789." A scarce and popular display piece, recalling the chopping down of the cherry tree legend. This piece was probably made in 1889 for the centennial of Washington’s inauguration.
