His litter of piglets weighed in at 2,240 pounds!! The award officially welcomed Farmer McWilliams to into the "Ton Litter Club."

The front of the pendant has an intricate scene of mama pig with four tiny piglets, made from beautifully cast gold.

McWilliams" and "2240 Lbs" in elegant calligraphic script.

This disk pendant is round and flat, and is quite heavy at six grams. This pendant is a collectable piece of U.S. history. It would look beautiful worn by a man or a woman.
