tydye, Your 1850's A.B.Van Cott, Racine, Wisconsin U.S. Merchant Store Card in the bottom right corner looks like a brass issue.

Kaz, It's not a chair as Robert Lovett's obverse design on his store card is a very close facsimile of the carved marble statue placed in front of Girard's sarcophagus in 1851.

Thanks! I was partly joking, but could not figure out what he was standing on. So it's really a sort of memorial piece. interesting.

While searching for the picture of his statue I found it interesting that as one of the richest men in America at the time of his death he got a fancy tomb, yet his wife was buried in an unmarked grave.
