An exceptional item. We knew these existed, but they appear inexplicably rare. During a need to conserve the famed tree pulpit of John Bunyan, preached from in Bedfordshire, 1660, a section of wood needed to be replaced. As a result, a few "scraps of precious material" were preserved and given to generous friends as a memento of the famed Bedford Tinker, and author ofPilgrim's Progress.
We offered another example just recently, the first we have offered in 30 years of purchasing and selling ephemera. It sold immediately. We were then contacted and presented with the opportunity to purchase a second, offered here. With certificate of authenticity from the Committee, etc.,
