Description: This is a wood replica of the United States House of Representatives gavel. I matched it precisely to the original in size, shape, wood tone, weight, taper, and distinct auburn stained groove pattern. Famous for being the gavel used by Nancy Pelosi over her decades as a Congresswoman and Democrat Speaker of the House, it has since been retired to the Smithsonian to commemorate her decades as the first and only woman at the top of American national representative politics. The gavel's fame derives, in part, from the sheer number of men photographed since 2007 ceding the gavel, and the authority it represents, back to Pelosi, a politician whose staying power was unmatched for nearly two decades. While Republican House leadership rotated, Democrat leadership did not. It was always Pelosi and would always be Pelosi. Whatever one's political views, her capacity to retain leadership of perhaps the most consequential deliberative body in the world was unmatched. The Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History took possession of the gavel upon Pelosi's retirement from politics, an unprecedented action signifying the gavel's evolution from a symbol of a generic Speaker control to Pelosi control. That she exercised this control is a simple fact disputed by neither Democrats nor Republicans. I made this in the United States. You may return it if you're not happy.
