1950s Atomic Energy Commission Building Office Logo Wall Plaque AEC Oppenheimer
About the Item
The AEC seal is one of those great totems of the atomic age. A largely symmetrical and stylized representation of an atom (the highly toxic beryllium), it is strikingly more straightforward than the seals of its successor organizations. The design and design philosophy is very characteristic of the Mid-Century Era. This large rare plaque was only used in official locations of the Atomic Energy Department.
The AEC officially came into existence and took over from the Manhattan Project in January 1947, but was being organized and meeting as early as 1946. This logotype was created for the department in 1949.
The original Walnut mounting/setting is square and is 19 by 19 inches and will be included.
