Description
I am pleased to present this piece, that is a bit out of my area of expertise, as I specialize in ancient coins.This is an authentic Revolutionary War Era, Freemason's Amulet, from the Kings Army, also known as the Tories/Tory
. My limited research indicates it may be from,
The Kings American Rigiment IV 1776-1783,
or from
Butlers Rangers 1777-1784
. It is very interesting that John Butler, who lead Butlers Rangers in the Revolutionary War, would later go on to help establish the Masonic lodges in Ontario, Canada. And... coincidentally... I purchased this amulet from a seller, Mr. Butler of Ontario Canada!
This seller did not know much about the amulet and called it an,
Antique Freemason Masonic Templar? Wood Jewel Pendant
. I would appreciate hearing comments from Revolutionary War experts regarding this piece. After I received the item, I spent a few days researching it. I have not seen anything like it, but have found the crown insigna with GR and Roman numeral IV. And I believe it to be an Authentic Revolutionary War antique with The All-Seeing-Eye on reverse side. Likely made of wood, I have not attempted to removed the center piece, as I did not want to damage the item. Its reliquary look, makes a person want to try and look inside, but I doubt it is hollow, opening is not worth the risk of damaging it. Measures 30mm in length, 10mm thick. All comments welcome, what do you all think about this item? I would appreciate help giving this piece a more detailed description. Has anyone ever seen one of these?
