OFF THE CHAIN COLONIAL? - ADVANCED FREEMASON WATCH WINDER IN SILVER

[gwdigger]

Found yesterday afternoon. Looks old but maybe not? Came up on a fields edge, along an old dirt road, just up from one of my early 18th century sites. Some kind of advanced Freemason symbolism. Only missing the small loop at top where the pocket watch chain attached and likely the reason it fell off. Regardless of age, I really like this one.

HTWSSTKS = “Hiram, the Widow's Son, Sent to King Solomon.”

I found some similar looking items here:


Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library: Mark Medals

You can see the old colonial Gent with the same shape winder in gold, dangling from a chain.

Thanks in advance for any further info...
