Item Description
2.25" long tapered steel. Inscription is incised on each side. Used to make holes in cloth or leather and to draw a thread through a hem. Inscription uses word "Elected" but the election actually occurred in 1828. This piece is to commemorate his March 4, 1829 inauguration the first time the event was held on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol. Previous inaugurations were indoors and invitation only. This event attracted about 10,000 out-of-towners who swelled the crowd that day to 21,000. Moderate surface wear from light use. Fine. Among the very earliest inaugural souvenirs.
