Commemorative wooden wall plaque celebrating the centennial of the Shelby County Courthouse in Memphis, Tennessee, dated October 15, 2009.
The plaque features a large raised metal courthouse-themed medallion or decorative knob above an engraved brass-tone presentation plate. The back retains its original maker’s label:
Specialty Woodcrafting by Michael Pittsley – Munford, Tennessee
An uncommon piece of Memphis and Shelby County civic history that would display well in a courthouse, legal office, local-history collection, or Tennessee memorabilia collection.
The exact plaque shown is included. No documentation or certificate is present. The raised centerpiece is described as a commemorative architectural-style element; its status as an original courthouse fixture has not been verified.
