I personally Got this Item (stupidly) the next day
I was trying to get to the clock face to get the hands of the clock, I went deep into Rubble and it was unsafe. DUH! I heard a lot of rubble falling, I got scared and climbed out so I grab a couple of bricks on the way up and this is one of them
A little History:
From 1919 to 1920, Sears, Roebuck & Co. constructed a large complex that consisted of a large 9-story building that included a 14-story clock tower. The neo-Gothic brick building was designed by George C. Nimmons, a Chicago-area architect who had worked for Sears, Roebuck & Co. previously, even designing the company president’s home.
On October 31, 1994, the Sears Tower was imploded. It barely took 7 seconds for the building to go down.
Today the area is home to a shopping center full of different chain stores including Walmart and Home Depot..it is also still home to the Sears power plant...
