I believe this was brought in or restored by the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site Inc., under a glass case - it wasn't just laying around.

I was there yesterday. I didn't go inside the building so I didn't take it. I would love to donate it to the art museum or have that in my room.

to the above poster- That is a shame that you couldn't go inside. That is the best part so if you can go again some time. Also, it under glass and part of the eastern state museum(it is now all a museum/tour thing) so I think security might have a problem with the removal of their property :) . (it would make a good decoration for my house though, haha)

@Andrew Last time, I didn't have time to go inside. Next time, I will probably get more time to explore the insides.
