I was allowed to touch it on a field trip in probably late 90’s. I remember only being allowed to use two fingers.

Lying awake at night, dreaming of running a third finger across the smooth brass.

I’m not sure if I was allowed to touch it but I think I did. It was just behind some velvet ropes. With one ranger watching and talking to my class.

Same. I remember touching the cracks in particular.I want to say at the time it has those movie theater-style velvet ropes because I remember getting yelled at for making them sway

I also remember touching it on a visit in the 90s. But when I moved to Philly in the early 2000s it was in the new building
