Section of the first transatlantic telegraph cable from August 31, 1858, genuine relic made into a souvenir, and sold and guaranteed authentic, by Tiffany Co. The cable is made of a cluster of seven copper wires, covered with three coats of gutta-percha and wound with tarred hemp, over which a sheath of 18 strands, each of seven iron wires, was laid in a close spiral. The souvenir section is banded in brass at both ends, with an embossed central brass certification band that reads: “ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE/ GUARANTEED BY/ TIFFANY CO./ BROADWAY, NEW YORK. 1858.” The unique complex core structure is shown by viewing either end.
