Item Description
Custom gavel No. 4 is made from reclaimed mahogany from the stock and grip of a Thompson “Chicago Typewriter.” Chicago was selected as the theme for gavel No. 4 because the Order's fourth Lodge was opened in the Windy City. Chicago is also home to the Elks Veterans Memorial and Headquarters.
This gavel will be used by Grand Exalted Ruler Malcolm J. McPherson, Jr., at the July 2 session of the 2018 Elks National Convention in San Antonio for action associated with acceptance of the minutes from the 2017 Grand Lodge Session. The proceedings from the Reno Convention were painstakingly prepared by Grand Secretary Bryan Klatt's office in Chicago.
The gavel will be given to the winning bidder after it is used in San Antonio, along with a certificate of authenticity signed by GER McPherson and Grand Secretary Klatt.
