This hard to find piece, was made circa 1909 by Sarah W. Symonds to commemorate the restoration of the Seven Gables House which was originally built in 1668. The house was also known as the Captain John Turner House and stands at 54 Turner Street Salem, Mass. It measures 8 3/8″ wide x 4 3/4″ tall and has Sarah W. Symonds signature on the back. It is in very good original condition with No breaks, cracks, repairs or repainting. There is a layer of rust on it, but the colors can be seen underneath. I was told by a few people, that rust solvents can be used to bring back the color but I choose to keep it in it’s original charming condition.
