Behind the scenes at our fifth president's house, comes an interesting find - his personal seal being discussed on PBS's Antiques Roadshow. James Madison, often attributed as the "Father of the Constitution", requested a modest wax seal after his service as president of the United States, and this looks to be that seal. The monetary value, right or wrong, is none of my concern as much as the historical value as I imagine the contents and importance of any letters he may have sealed using this tool.
