I found this at a historic property (1792) here in Ohio. Not sure what it is but looks old. I’ve seen this eagle design before emblazoned on something but can’t remember what it was.

The beak shape and neck curvature are different. I have feeling it is a Centennial Edition. Or the one for sale online could have been made for those reenactment groups so it isn't an exact replica. But the one on this page appears to be

This identification is correct and is a great find. It should really enhance the story of the property with guests!

I'm going with the reproduction also. Notice the back is channeled. On the original one it is solid.
