Description: This metal paperweight is designed to look like a pile of 29 coins each of which is stamped with the inauguration year of one of the presidents of the United States. The top coin features both George Washington and Herbert Hoover. The pile seems to be one coin short because when Hoover won he became the 31st president. But it was not a mistake; Grover Cleveland was given just one coin in the pile to represent his two non-consecutive terms in office. Because Herbert Hoover is in the center with George Washington, we are assuming that this paperweight is from 1929, the year of Hoover's inauguration. We do not know how this paper weight was made available. It may have been a gift or purchased inauguration souvenir. The metal that this weight is made from is unknown. Please note: This is not a pile of medals. It is all molded together. The medals have various images of eagles, stars, and banners. The center coin or medal has an eagle and the White House. It is marked as follows: FIRST PRESIDENT 1789 GEORGE WASHINGTON 30th PRESIDENT1929 HERBERT HOOVER. The paperweight measures about 5'' wide. Attached on the bottom is brown felt, not original. It is in excellent condition as pictured.
