Vintage commemorative builder award featuring two opposing claw hammers mounted on a substantial rustic wood base with engraved presentation plaque.

The plaque reads:

“THE GREAT BUILDER”

“I.A.C.H. FORT RILEY”

“1976-1982”

Research indicates that I.A.C.H. refers to Irwin Army Community Hospital located at Fort Riley, Kansas. This unique presentation piece appears to have been created to recognize an individual associated with construction, engineering, facilities management, maintenance, or building operations connected with the hospital during the period from 1976 through 1982.

The display features two decorative claw hammers joined by a turned wood handle and mounted above a thick live-edge wood base. The handcrafted design creates a striking tribute to the building trades and military service.
