This exquisitely crafted letter opener is adapted from a sword owned by Washington, famously depicted in Charles Willson Peale's 1772 portrait of Washington as a Virginia colonel. That same sword is believed to have been worn by Washington when he resigned his commission in Annapolis (1783) and when he was inaugurated as the nation’s first president (April 30, 1789).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"783\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"781\"\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"802\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"797\"\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"861\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"825\"\u003eMaterial\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal with sterling silver finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"912\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"878\"\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gift box lined with blue velvet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"929\"\u003eExclusive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mount Vernon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"960\"\u003eIdeal for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collectors, history enthusiasts, and as a distinctive gift for fans of George Washington\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the original \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/emuseum.mountvernon.org\/objects\/293\/smallsword\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eSmallsword\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e remaining in our museum. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESIGN MASTER ASSOCIATES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32709113099,"sku":"52019","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1831\/5307\/files\/george-washington-sword-letter-opener-1613233.jpg?v=1772006468"},{"product_id":"mount-vernon-colonial-black-lantern","title":"Mount Vernon Colonial Black Lantern","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"395\" data-start=\"128\"\u003eThis elegant black metal lantern, proudly American-made, is modeled after those that illuminate the historic paths of Mount Vernon during beloved evening events such as the Wine Festivals and Christmas at Mount Vernon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"411\" data-start=\"397\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"409\" data-start=\"397\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"449\" data-start=\"414\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\" H x 5.5\" Sq.
