CITY OF PERRYSBURG 1816

Mark description

The mark consists of a seal comprised of a circular disk with a rope running adjacent to the outside edge. Such rope is spliced at the bottom of the seal by weaving them together in such a manner that both ends are exposed on the front surface and lashed together in four equally spaced places. The strands of the rope are clearly shown and the rope has a right hand lay. The thickness of such rope is 4.16 percent of the outside diameter of the seal. In the center of the seal is a detailed upright figure of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, similar to the statue of him at Front Street and Louisiana Avenue in Perrysburg, Ohio. The height of such figure is 51.6 percent of the outside diameter of the seal. A thin line circumscribes the vertical figure and its diameter is 57.5 percent of the outside diameter of the seal. Surrounding the inner circle are sixty-six equally spaced disks with a diameter of 2.08 percent of the distance from the center of the seal to the outer edge of the seal. On the upper part of the seal, spaced equally between the solid disks and the aforesaid rope in Cheltenham bold face capital letters with a height approximately 9.2 percent of the outside diameter of the seal, are the words "CITY OF PERRYSBURG". Such words start ten degrees below a horizontal line drawn through the center of the seal and end ten degrees below such line on the opposite side of such seal, subtending 200 degrees in all. Also equally placed between such solid disks and rope in numbers equal in height to such letters and of the same style are the numbers "1816", the year Perrysburg was laid out by the Federal government. Such numbers are placed at the bottom of the seal. In the two spaces between the numbers and the letters there are single disks of the same size as those previously described and such disks are spaced equally between such rope and the previously described disks and the letters and numbers.
