Rare Matched Pair Massachusetts State Shield Emblem Door Knobs Native American
Wonderful matched pair of door knobs with the Massachusetts State Seal. These do not come to market very often and with the hardware is even rarer. The door knob is oval and measures about 3 1/4″ tall and 2 3/8″ wide. They are in very good condition – original patina- not polished. This door knob has comes with some Massachusetts history. It has a raised State seal on it. The seal was adopted by the Provincial Congress in 1780. The shield has an Algonquian Native American with a bow and arrow, the arrow is pointing down, which signifies peace. There is a star next to the figure’s head with five points. Above the shield is the state military crest which is a bent arm holding a sword, which is facing up. This was meant to remind people that it was through the American Revolution that independence was won. Under the seal is a ribbon with the words “Ense petit placidas sub libertate quietem”, this means “With a sword, she seeks quiet peace under liberty”. There has been some talk of redoing the state seal to be more compassionate towards the Native Americans.

Indian Native American Iron Fireplace Andirons Firedog RARE EARLY MASSACHUSETTS
Indian Native American Iron Fireplace Andirons Firedog RARE EARLY MASSACHUSETTS. Incredible set on Native American andirons. Incredibly rare pair, maybe one of the hardest andiron forms to find anywhere. The form is said to be a representation of Massasoit, friend to the pilgrims in Plymouth, present at the first Thanksgiving, and father to King Philip. The pair has nice original paint with some worn spots on one and both having worn paint on the legs, and a little on back. They are very heavy, solid cast iron. The leg/rear support of one is solidly stuck in its groove and the other is able to slide in and out of the groove as needed. Im sure the one thats stuck could easily be loosened with the whack of a rubber mallet. They are a valued part of my collection but its time to put them up for sale for the right number. 19.25 tall and 17.5 long approximately. Massasoit Sachem or Ousamequin c. 1581 1661[1] was the sachem or leader of the Wampanoag confederacy. Massasoit means Great Sachem. Massasoit was the grand sachem (intertribal chief) of all the Wampanoag Indians, who inhabited parts of present Massachusetts and Rhode Island, particularly the coastal regions. In March 1621several months after the landing of the Mayflower at PlymouthMassasoit journeyed to the colony with his colleague Samoset, who had already made friendly overtures to the Pilgrims there. Convinced of the value of a thriving trade with the newcomers, Massasoit set out to ensure peaceful accord between the racesa peace that lasted as long as he lived. In addition, he and his fellow Indians shared techniques of planting, fishing, and cooking that were essential to the settlers survival in the wilderness. When Massasoit became dangerously ill in the winter of 1623, he was nursed back to health by the grateful Pilgrims. The colonial leader, Governor Edward Winslow, was said to have traveled several miles through the snow to deliver nourishing broth to the chief. Massasoit was able to keep the peace for many decades, but new waves of land-hungry Europeans created tension as the Indians native land was steadily taken over by the whites. When he died, goodwill gradually dissolved, culminating in the bloody King Philips War (1675), led by Massasoits second son.
