From the link wwh provided, here's a direct link to a rod believed to have been one of Franklin's This rod appears to have been well used and many times struck (or conducted). There's a statue dimly seen in the background of the photograph that is most likely Franklin. Elementary school kids (some of 'em) have real problems in winnowing out Franklin's name in the roll call of presidents. These kids are determined to make him one.
