The original torch for the Statue of Liberty was built for, and displayed at, the Pairs and Philadelphia world fairs before being shipped to New York. Today, the original torch, the one from the world's fair, is in the pedestal of the statue.

The torch on the statue right now is a replica of this original one. The other waymark, I created, is for the head which was made for the worlds fair. The torch, which is now on display in the museum in the pedestal, was also made for the worlds fair. Both are seperate pieces.
