Scope and Contents

A circular gold ornament commemorating the 300th anniversary of the College of William and Mary. On the golden circle of the ornament is written "COLLEGE OF WILLIAM MARY" in gold. The inside of the circle features a golden "300" with the Wren Building weathervane coming out of the second "0." "1693" is engraved in gold on the flag of the weathervane and "1993" is written in gold on the arrow of the weathervane. A small gold crown tops the weathervane and meets the circle under "WILLIAM." There is a gold string tied to a small golden rectangle attached to the circle. Attached to the gold string is a black Christmas tree ornament hook. The ornament measures approximately 2.75in. in diameter and is in good condition. There are small scratches on the "300" and a 0.5in. fingerprint mark where the "3" and "0" meet. There are also small scratches all over the back of the ornament. There is a 1.75in. fingerprint mark on the back on the left side of the circle and a 0.5in. fingerprint mark on the back of the flag of the weathervane. There are also small fingerprint marks all over the back of the circle. Gift of Steve Murden. UA 2013.219.04
