SHRINE OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES ONE OF the earliest projects of the Commission was to bring to every community in the United States actual facsimile reproductions of the four pages of the Constitution. Forty-one replicas of the shrine in the Library of Congress at Washington, where the original documents of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are preserved, were constructed and distributed to key cities throughout the country. These replicas were most ingeniously manufactured with a formica veneer, giving the exact impression of the marble used in the original shrine in the Library of Congress. The replicas were manufactured by John C. Knipp and Sons, of Baltimore, Md. A smaller shrine, consisting of swinging display frames, and placed on a steel floor standard, was also distributed by the Commission. It contained the four pages of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and a sheet of pictures of the signers of the Constitution. Some 1,450 of these were sold to schools, churches, libraries, and other public gathering places. They were made by Seal, Inc., of Shelton, Conn. REPLICA OF THE SHRINE OF THE CONSTITUTION Replica of the Shrine of the Constitution in the Library of Congress, City of Washington. They were made of formica, giving the appearance of the original marble Shrine, and were manufactured by John C. Knipp & Sons, of Baltimore, Md. They contain the four pages of the Constitution in facsimile and a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence. STANDARD SHRINE OF THE CONSTITUTION Standard Shrine of the Constitution, distributed by the Commission, of steel, finished in bronze, with three swinging frames containing facsimiles of the four sheets of the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence, and a sheet of pictures of Signers of the Constitution.
