    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!  I do have the original signed receipt.
    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?
