The listing, VINTAGE THOMAS JEFFERSON FREEDOM EAGLE SWITCH PLATE COVER has ended.
This is a very old switch plate cover up for bid. these were made in the fifties and sixties, and handcrafted by brass smith house, inc. of worcester, massachusetts. it has an eagle on top and is 6 and 3/4" by 4". it is antique brass, and the writing on it is thomas jefferson's freedom speech. "freedom is the right to choose, the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice. without the possibility of choice, a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing." it has thomas jefferson's name at the bottom after the quoted speech. this is oneof the earlier ones made as you can see on the back it has a number on the bottom right after the co. the ones they made in the latter years had the year replacing this number and the number is above the year. it is in excellent condition and will shine even more if cleaned with brass cleaner. i will be offering one more like this if this one goes well, happy bidding, if gin is used i will throw in both plates, they are identical. only if gin is used. thanks and happy bidding.
