Description
Biographic works reveal many claimants to the title "Watchdog of the Treasury." But this early-day Treasury seal presents the real, the genuine, the original Treasury watchdog, carefully guarding with that left front paw the key to the symbolic strongbox beside him. Records fail to indicate the seal's origin, or the extent of its use, but the original plate is deposited at the Government Printing Office.
