In 1833, the Washington National Monument Society took charge of creating a memorial to George Washington on the National Mall. They raised money through public donations and awarded the design contract to architect Robert Mills.
The large certificate we have was given to a man who made a donation of $5 to the effort. I’ve not found another certificate like ours, one that has a place to list the name of the donor and the amount they’ve donated.
In good condition, framed in a solid wood antique frame with museum-grade, UV-protecting non-glare acrylic to guard against fading.
(Note: Photos was taken before the acrylic was installed.)
Frame size: 23" x 30.75"
Shipping: $40. Please allow two weeks for shipping.

Awesome product.
I love wearing my T-shirt honoring my Dad who was wounded the day after seeing that beautiful flag flying on Iwo Jima. As others say, Most people never meat their hero’s, I was raised by mine. Proud daughter of a proud Marine, my father said he made sure I was born on 11/10!!!

Great T-shirt: Flag raising on Mount Suribachi - 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima
My father-in-law - Allen M. Barrett - was a decorated Marine 2nd Lt. on Iwo Jima, a great man and true exemplar of the Greatest Generation. When I saw the shirt, I knew I had to buy one for my brother-in-law and me. I cannot wait to wear it. Semper Fi, Allen.

Comfortable and Good Looking
Very comfortable with a great looking design - it's respectfully commemorative and I love the addition of Admiral Nimitz's quotation.
