As historian for the family, I was gifted this plaque. It measures roughly 8 x 8 x 1/4 inches. Hand carved and painted. The glass in the center is screwed in place with flathead or slotted screws. The wood used, I'm presuming, would have been scrap wood. There are numbers on the back and what looks like what would have been metal tabs for magnetic closures.

This is the reverse side of the plaque. As you can see on the top of the photo, there are metal pieces that could have been hinges or for magnetic closures. I'm not sure what the numbers represent, other than a zip code for Florida. Sadly someone put some masking tape on it with Patrick's name.
