Summary
[edit]DescriptionUS Senate gavels.jpg | The gavel of the United States Senate, used by the presiding officier (Vice President or President Pro Tempore, usually). This gavel on the right is currently in use, and was a gift from India in 1954. It replaced the gavel on the left, which had been in use since at least 1831 and possibly 1789, but which had come apart earlier in 1954. Both gavels are kept in the mahogany box, which is carried into the Senate chamber each day there is a session. For more information, see here and here. |
