  • All returns accepted: Returns Accepted
  • Original Odd Fellow artifact: Authentic
  • Year: 1885-1915
  • Condition: Good-Very Good overall antique cond: This really quite exceptional & very well pres overall late 19th-early 20th c metallic copper painted, cast iron American Odd Fellow horseshoe is a wonderful I.O.O.F. artifact. Most of the metallic copper enamel paint used to cover the cast iron piece is still intact, w/only some minor paint loss noticed at some of the high spots of this graphically exciting piece. The Int'l Order of Odd Fellows is spelled out in its acronym 'I.O.O.F.' along the bottom, while 'F.I.T.' is located in the middle. An eagle w/spread wings sits perched atop the horseshoe frame of the copper emblem, while an omniscient, omnipresent, watchful 'all-seeing' eye gazes out from the top of the stacked graphic iconography. This is what makes early I.O.O.F. artifacts so interesting, is that they're loaded w/imagery & symbolism, often incongruently placed together or on top of each other, as is the case w/this piece. It doesn't suffer from any breaks, loss or repairs. Handsome.
