Description

 I got this from my grandmothers kitchen. She had a whole bunch of diffrent trivets but this is the only one that is marked on both sides. the front has a shield that says adams and the back is marked pres. adams. All her other trivets were black and this one is brass. Tried to research it and found one place that said it was rare. I would like to know the real value.
