A carved cylindrical wooden piece, with turned edges, 1.25" tall, and 1.5" diameter being a relic of the tree that William Penn and Lenape Chief Tamanend made their Treaty of Friendship in 1682. The venerable elm tree, which stood at Shackamaxon on the Delaware river was felled in a storm on March 5, 1810. After the tree fell, much of the wood was salvaged, and much of it made into relic souvenirs by local citizens concerned that the great event would be forgotten with the loss of the tree. Wood originates from the John S. Reigart Collection of Historical American Relics.
