Oval-shaped and made of brass and wood, the first sign reads "201-209 / 210-222" and the second one "301-309 / 310-322," indicating where these room numbers were in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. Taken off the wall of the actual hotel on September 6, 2007 during a liquidation sale (the place is currently being renovated), the current owner bought these specific signs because they relate to the two room numbers [Rooms #214 and #314] where President Nixon's burgers stayed during the scandal that came to be known simply as 'Watergate.' Also included is a set of paperwork relating to this sale and the man who bought these particular signs, a former Secret Service agent. 10 x 16in
