Description: STONE WITH WONDERFUL 3-DIMENSIONAL COPPER & PEWTER PLAQUE!  STONE IS FROM ORIGINAL 1918 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FACTORY IN
MILWAUKEE,
WISCONSIN, .....WOW!!!  (NOTE: I took some of the posted pictures in the bright sun, and some in the shade)
The stone you get is the one pictured.
An addition was built in 1918 at the original Harley-Davidson Milwaukee, WI, plant.  This was one of the ORIGINAL STONES that was used around the windows and doors of the Harley-Davidson 1918 structure!!!  Around 2002 the wing was knocked down and put into storage at the Harley-Davidson Museum there.  In 2009 they were released to a liquidator as surplus and I recently purchased the entire lot them from him and am selling them to help Purple Heart Homes help our disabled veterans.  Each comes with a letter of authenticity which tells the story and chain of control of the bricks and stones.  Each COA is signed and has an individually numbered hologram attached.  You will get the stone pictured. What a great gift....what a great cause...its a win-win, that's for sure.  What Harley person wouldn't LOVE this!
Dale Beatty and John Gallina (pictured at bottom of the COA) were injured in a Humvee in Iraq in 2004.  Dale lost both legs, John suffered traumatic brain injuries.  They could have chosen to respond any way to these disabling injuries, but they chose to not allow their injuries hold them back.  They founded Purple Heart Homes, and in fact were pictured on the cover of TIME's 2011 cover under the caption "The New Greatest Generation".  Dale unexpected passed away last year, but John and their team carry on.  John shys away from individual recognition, but is rightfully-so proud of their charity and what it has done for our veterans.  The charity fixes up houses to help our veterans out - we build ramps, widen doorways, insulate, install new electric wires, hot water heaters, and much more - at NO COST to the veteran!  It is all funded from donations and fundraisers like this.  We also have a program where we refurbish entire homes and sell them to the veteran at 50% of the home's value.  What a great program!  Part of your stone purchase goes to Purple Heart Homes.  We have been financially intricate in the completion of 8 separate projects so far!!!
I'm willing to sell this stone through ebay's Global Shipping program for those of you out of the country.  No combine shipping folks; too heavy.  Also, if this is a bit out of your price range, please check my other auctions; I also have all the bricks from the structure too, and have put a nice plaque on them.
