Peter Calvesbert filled Let Freedom Ring with eccentric references to Philadelphia, host city for the 2004 HK/HOP collector event. Among the local characters are Old Baldy, the favorite mount of General Sherman; Peter the Mint Eagle; Grip, Charles Dickens' beloved raven; and Starfire, the long-lived cobra housed at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Inside sits Philadelphia's most famous symbol, the Liberty Bell, complete with its crack. Two versions were produced for the event: Version 1, given to each attendee, features a greenish snake; Version 2, which attendees could purchase, features a reddish-brown snake. This Archive listing offers one example of each version as selectable variants.
Carved in 2004 and released August 11, 2004, Let Freedom Ring was made in England as an Event Edition of just 500 pieces for the HK/HOP Let Freedom Ring 2004 Collector Event.
