Gamble Plantation Lock by Blair Bordelon3D Model
Description: The Gamble Plantation in Ellenton, Florida was a working sugarcane plantation from 1845-1856. Owned by Robert Gamble Jr. and built and operated by about 200 enslaved Africans, the mansion was used to house Conderate soldiers during the Civil War and provided refuge to Confederate Secretary of State Judah P. Benjamin after the war until he fled to England. The house and property were sold to George Patten in 1872. This lock was recovered during a recent arcaheological excavation and was found just outside the mansion’s kitchen. The black metal lock contains a flag-like embossed design of X’s through a solid circle against a background of raised dots on either side. Across the top arch on one side are engraved the number 3, followed by “PAT. PE’D’G” (patent pending).
