Synopsis

A historic silver punch bowl by Paul Revere, made in 1768 to honor a bold act of local government. This collectible piece marks the moment when fifteen Sons of Liberty commissioned a silver bowl to celebrate the ninety-two Massachusetts Bay representatives who refused to rescind a circular letter challenging royal authority.


The bowl embodies a key chapter in American colonial resistance. Its rim is engraved with the names of the subscribers, and one side bears an inscription honoring the elected officials who stood for liberty and conscience. A liberty cap motif and a wreath inscription link the piece to the broader story of colonial protest and the people who organized under the Liberty Tree and through trusted networks.



  • Round-robin names engraved around the rim, including subscribers such as John Marston, Ichabod Jones, and others listed in the primary dedication.

  • Inscription honors the ninety-two members who chose not to rescind the circular letter in 1768.

  • Iconography features a liberty cap and a commemorative wreath, tied to the Sons of Liberty movement.

  • Context ties the object to Paul Revere’s leadership role and the early, organized acts of colonial resistance.


Ideal for readers of American colonial history, Paul Revereiana, and historical artifacts that illuminate the roots of American independence.
