Trenton Makes, the World Takes, as the saying goes. It appears that the world may have taken too much from the city as many of the industrial powerhouses have moved west…then south…then far east. Home to about 85,000 people, Trenton lost the bid to become the nation’s capital but became the state capital in 1790. This cover made by the Campbell foundry in Harrison, NJ can be found all over the city. It consists of a 12 spoke wheel with an outer rim designated for place name and use. This particular cover has been vented as indicated by the eight holes and has one pickpoint. Often the center has been rubbed away, but here the city seal lends the cover some uniqueness just as the nearby Grounds for Sculpture does for Trenton.
