From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gavel

A gavel is a small ceremonial mallet commonly made of hardwood, typically fashioned with a handle. It can be used to call for attention or to punctuate rulings and proclamations and is a symbol of the authority and right to act officially in the capacity of a presiding officer. It is often struck against a sound block, a striking surface typically also made of hardwood, to enhance its sounding qualities. According to tradition, Vice President of the United States John Adams used a gavel as a call to order in the first U.S. Senate in New York in 1789. Since then, it has remained customary to tap the gavel against a lectern or desk to indicate the opening and closing of proceedings and, in the United States, to indicate that a judge’s decision is final. It is also used to keep the meeting itself calm and orderly.

Use in meetings

A gavel may be used in meetings of a deliberative assembly. According to Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, the gavel may be used to signify a recess or an adjournment. It may also be used to signify when a member makes a slight breach of the rules. Demeter’s Manual of Parliamentary Law and Procedure states that, in addition to an optional light tap after a vote, there are three other uses of a gavel:

To attract attention and call a meeting to order. In most organizations, two taps raise and one tap seats the assembly; in others, two taps raise and three taps seat it.

To maintain order and restore it when breached in the course of the proceedings. (Tap the gavel once, but vigorously).

To be handed over to successors in office or to officiating officers as ceremonials, etc. (Always extend the holding end).

The gavel measures about 10-1/8'' long. It was used, and has some wear on the head from use. It appears that the gavel had been cracked or broken, at some point, near the head, (see pictures #2 & #3) but it had been repaired with glue. It appears to be in good repaired condition as pictured.
