'There’s a story told about a collector who owned the hatchet used by George Washington to chop down the famous cherry tree. When asked about the hatchet’s authenticity, the collector replied, “Oh, it’s the original. I’ve had to change the handle twice and the blade once, but it’s most definitely the original.”'
