Rare Relic Symbolism Associated to George Washington & Sovereignty

GEORGE WASHINGTONS PERSONAL GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES

Taken from Wiki on Great Seal 

In 1894 Palemon Howard Dorsett, a lifelong Department of Agriculture employee, turned up at the Department of State with a metal die engraved with the Great Seal, claiming it had originally been given to his family by a nephew of George Washington. It was examined by Gaillard Hunt, the author of a pamphlet on the Great Seal, who agreed that it appeared to be contemporaneous with the original 1782 seal, but he took no further interest in the matter.[37]

Decades later, in 1936, Dorsett wrote again regarding his die, and this time it was investigated more thoroughly. It is a very similar design to the first Great Seal die and obviously copied from it, even including a border of acanthus leaves. The eagle was different though, being more spirited with its wings more widely spread. More significantly, the arrows and the olive branch are switched, indicating an intentional “difference” to distinguish it from the actual Great Seal. It is the same size as the first die, and is made of bronze. There was no indication that it could actually be used in a seal press, and a search of government documents showed no use of the seal anywhere.[38]

The investigation also turned up some facts that supported Dorsett’s story: documents relating to the sale of Washington’s estate list “plates arms U.S.” being sold to Thomas Hammond (a son-in-law of Charles Washington and therefore a nephew by marriage to George Washington), and also the Hammond and Dorsett families both had roots in West Virginia just a few miles apart. Afterwards Dorsett lent his seal to Mount Vernon, and his heirs made it a donation. It was eventually put on display in a museum there.

Gary:

Never had anyone done a deep study on any of the US Great Seals, not even the authors of the Eagle & the Shield. Not Long after being published in the ANS Colonial Journal, I had made this discovery in direct association to George Washington’s personal Great Seal & Identical letters “CI” found on one of the rarest United States Mint issued George Washington Oval Silver 1792 Indian Peace Medal. The two earliest known of these medals I wrote about in the journal were identified the earliest ones of the US Mint. Which makes them the earliest hand engraved US Mint relics known in its founding history.

The same artist was the US Great Seal Maker Robert Scot, who made a number of the Indian Peace medals, where a group of artist were part of the guild. Scot in a conversation with an archivest who provided me with information on Scot in Scotland, unknown to the US Government historians or historical seal researchers. Said that Scot would have been the appointed from Europe in the United States as the President of the Artist Guild.

Found on the only known 1792 Silver Oval, George Washington Indian Peace Medal from my recent research last year on these medals for the Journal. Low and behold I found the same markings that I thought it was the abbriviation for the Military Officers Society he founded “Society of Cincinnati”, which it is not! The Seal could have been oresented to him in 1789 and the medals were made just after during the first Presidents term. So the “CI” would represent the 1st Colonial Inauguration of Washington. The “CI” is not found on the other known US Great Seals. Some US coins have the “CI” found on the ribbon end of diamond tag(Ribbon on the Great Seal Bird”.

No Peace medal authorities ever make any advancements on the study with these medals. Especially when your dealing with a select few that are worth more the a $1m US dollars at any of the top coin auctions.

Now in the case with this find, its exceptionally rare and clearly marked “CI” on both relics. Scot was proven by my research to be the US Great Seal maker, with a group of artist together. This peace medal shows the only markings and they are both associated to Washington’s history directly. This example image below is a GW Indian Peace Medal

 

The Swamp Angles Cannon

RESTORATION PROJECT: Requesting donations to have a historical 3 pounder cannon restored at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

The Historical cannon named the “Swamp Angles” was a complicated provenance history to solve. Given to the City of Milford by the Great Showman PT Barnum who collected historical cannons that were used as part of his shows.

The name “Swamp Angles” referred to the history of the cannon being used with Perry on the great lakes in the 1812 War. One of the bloodiest US Naval engagements took place on the lakes where many free African American and Kentucky Riflemen patriots who lost their lives. Were committed to the Lake after the Battle of Lake Erie.

 

Historians who I have spoke to from Detroit haved documented the name origins “Swamp Angle’s” did refer to the bodies committed to the Lake, but some of the brave sould bodies did wash up on the shores around the lakes tributeries. The 2nd documented history that was well documented by the Kentucky National Guard Historian  was that there was the famous battle “River Raisin”. Where Perry’s ships were documented not having any 3lbs cannon. Except for where the bloody bloody massacre took place on the River Raisin. The Swamp Angle’s is a relic from this history that is commemorating the men who gave thier lives on the great lakes in the fight from freedom in the War of 1812.

Today, the cannon is in a sad state, placed in the ground 30 plus years ago. Reason that the cannon would not be taken by collectors. Today it sits accross the street from the Milford Green on a street corner thats to close to traffic.

What you see is not a pretty sight, first thoughts is it was painted green and a cone thrown on top for some Holloween joke. But, no! This is to prevent cars from running the relic over. Now Im putting up the insurance money to dig it out. Request being made to the City Public Works to pull it out and send it to Vermont for restoration.

WHATS EVEN MORE SPECIAL: The famous Civil War Bombardment of Charleston, SC. was boombed by the famous cannon called the Swamp Angle by Gilmore(Scottish Iron Industry Connection in USA”. The famous all black American regiment who fought in Charelston, SC. was  the 54th named the “Swamp Angles” and todays 54th does not even know where the name originated!

Special notes here, PT. Barnum was famous for massive propaganda in the Civil War against the South with the burning of Charleston with cannon incendiary rounds. Confederate spys took revenge with a plot to burn NYC with the same Greek Fire that burned Charelston to the ground. They chose Pt. Barnums Museum and ironic because there was a small cannon like this one he gave to Milford that survived the blaze.

The truth is that this cannon teaches cannon history than another cannon in US history from the iron industry on the great lakes with the foundery that made the Civil War gun and families directly associated to being on Perry’s ships and who served at the River Raisin. Linking 1812 War history with Civil War Cannon manufacturing as well! Not to say that the cannon design indicates it was made during the American Revolution. Note that few authentic American cannons that are iron, have even been identifed in US History! The added history states this cannon was maybe at one used at the Battle of Stony Point, NY.

Any one wishing to help out! Please contact me on the blog. The cannon will cost $5k for conservation and I have a large historical marble stone it will be mounted too!

Charles I, Royalist Symbolism Adopted to Milford, Connecticut City’s Logo! Yes this is Associated to the origins of US Symbolism with the Great Seal(All Seeing Eye) and Star & Stripes on the Webb Horn. Not Stars! Star for the Garter & Thistle Orders.

Some years ago, I was researching the history of the founding father of my home town, Governor Robert Treat(Trott) and his personal seal. The seal design’s octagon was adopted by the City of Milford in recognition of Treat!

Below we can see the design Tread had used and my question for years was why? What did it mean?  This story was presented on 21st Century Radio with Dr. Robert Hieronimus, the US Academic historian of the United States Sovereign Coat of Arms Historian. Where the symbolism may have been the earliest or origins associated “Star Symbolism” used by a colonial goverment officical that predates the symbolism of the United States Flag and government seal symbolism with Stars. When I was on Dr. Bob’s show, I was not far off from my theory that this was the earliest star symbolism associated to the US government symbolism of our nation identity with the Stars & Stripes and the US Great Seal designs. Actually it was the origins of that and of Freemasonry symbolism as well. Your will read here that the Stuart Kings were responisble for presenting all the modern Masonic first Charters!

Gov. Treat “Could Only” have adopted this “Mourning of the death” symbolism of Charles I right at the time he confronted Sir Edmund Andross the Governor of the New England Dominion! In fact, Treat used such great diplomacy during the famous swiping of the Connecticut Colony Charter with the Charter Aak Incident to save the Connecticut Colony that Andros made Treat a member of his council.

The Treat Seal is a little different compared to the Mourning symbolism of Charles I when he was the first Sovereign beheaded. My theory was correct with Dr. Bob’s 21st Century Radio interview. The hollow heart and the five pointed star can only represent the “Star Chamber Court” that persecuted and condemned the Sovereign Charles I. Except the octagon is symbolic to the King and the “Order of the Garter”! Which represents the symbolism of the earliest American flag design origins, proven from my Webb Horn documents on this blog. Where before the stars and stripes it would have benn called the “Star & Stripes”. As the only personin US history to have found, studied and done foresnics research to authentic the only two factual US 13 Stars and Stripes in US history surviving. We can today identify that all the origins of the US Sovereignty symbolism was in fact a tribute to the Scottish Kings by the Stuarts and traced back to the  buried Kings of the Isle of IONA!

So the evidence provided below proves that my home towns “octagon” symbolism, represents Charles I and the Garter Star. Before Freemasonry in American, but Americas symbolism origins as well!

Note: The City of Milford has not be presented this information. The towns slogan is “A Small City with a Big Heart” and the Octagon is the City’s adoped symbol today!

The Image below of the button belongs to one of the most amazing 16th-18th century collectors Mr. George Way from Staten Island, NY. He is recognized as one of the nations priemier collectors of  Elizabethian/Stuart colloects in the United States, who shares his collection and information with the the Queen of England. Mr. Way, personally gave me permission for the image below to be used for this educational post. The middle button is octagon button identical to Treats Seal design in silver. Which was worn by a supporter of King Charles I in New York Colony!  Mr. Way is dead on, 100% correct that this button was a Charles I loyalist button of great value historically today! The button would or may very well link the person who wore this button to Gov. Robert Treat from that time of the New England Donimion, but Treat also founded the Colony in Newark NJ, not far from NY where this relic was unearthed! Treat is acknowledged as the father of Milford and he also founded Newark, NJ! Could there be a connection with this button and Royalists associated to Gov. Treat, its very possible! The odds are with out any qurstion, yes! So few were allowed to explore and colonize, only with sovereign permission!

Charles I (1625-1649), Royalist Badge or Lockett, Silver, engraved with loop for suspension, (1649-1660), 24mm, OUTSIDE: a bleeding heart pierced by two arrows, I live and dy in loyaltye, INSIDE: I morne for monarchie, a weeping eye, rev., OUTSIDE: Quis temperet A lacrymis January 30 1648 (Who can refrain from tears, January 30 1648), INSIDE: insert bust of Charles I, (MI 266/249) good very fine, rare and attractive.

Produced after the execution of Charles I on January 30th 1649 (1648 in the Julian calendar) items like these were worn secretly by Royalist sympathizers during the time of the Cromwellian Republic. Suspended around the neck this locket could have been concealed beneath a shirt of jacket.

HISTORY ALWAY’S DOES A FULL CIRCLE! Connecting the Dots of History with American Symbolism.

The images granted by Yorkcoins.com will open the doors for my new research paper that will be posted on Electric Scotland for educational purposes only!

Note the bleeding heart with one drop and the eye weeping with three tears. The blood drop and some of the tears are diamond shaped drops! The diamond drops are confirmed with a few other Locketts on the internet and an identical one in the Massachusettes Historical Society collection.

Indepth symbolism studies proves this diamond symbolism represents the diamond history with Mary Queen of Scot’s with “New Hall” at Buxton when Mary’s was held under house arrest. Many prominent Elizabethans stayed at the Hall during her residency including the Earl of Leicester, the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Suffolk and Lord Burghley. At one stage it became the regular venue for the highest nobility of the land and the centre for court intrigues and “traitorous planning “against the crown of England. It was said that the future of England was determined more at the hall in Buxton than in London. Consequently it became known as ‘That house of Royal intrigue‘. Where Mary Queen of Scots scratched her famous couplet (Diamond)of Farewell to Buxton with a diamond ring on one of the bedroom window panes: ‘Buxton, whose warm waters have made thy name famous, perchance I shall visit thee no more-Farewell‘

Charles I owned the famous Crown Jewel named the Three Brothers and I may be correct that the three drops represent this history with Mary’s! How could this be factual, what proves would prove this symbolism to be true with “Plotting or Traitorous Planning”?

The King and Constitution Button is the “HARD EVIDENCE” that proves I am correct! Note the three diamond’s on each star point! The eight pointed star here has always been misidentified by button historians as being a “George Washington” proposal button to make him King of the United States. When this button is a Jacobite button that represents the exiled Prince of Scotland, Charles Edward Stuart who was officially the king of America, regardless of the Hanoverians being on the thrown! The crown that you see is a Scottish crown, identical to the crowns found on the famous Jacobite Amen Glasses!

So the diamonds here on the button represents the “Plotting or Planning” that associates the history back to the symbolism history with Mary Queen of Scot’s cutting the diamond in the Window, then to the death of Charles I. Explaing the significance of the Diamond history with the Stuarts and Jacobites with founding symbolisl of the United States. The octagon, star symbolism…

Going a little further with Charles I being executed! Charles did give his personal diamond signet ring to a trusted Bishop on the scaffold to hold for his son! This mystery may associate the famous ring that the Colony of Connecticut gave to Charles II to win favor in that time of turmoil!

We note that symbolism often has more meaning than just one subject at the same time with these Sovereign people of the past, where the United States Sovereignty and Law originates from them and no one else because they were the sovereigns! Regarding the “Eye” history with Charles I. Here I have to quote my old friend Cort Lindalh, where my research allowed him to understand the Stuart association to his research and “ARCADIA” with Shrugbourgh Halls monument and other Octagon tower navigation sites dedicated to only the Stuarts! Including the Kings Knot (Octagon) at Stirling Castle that associates this history of the Octagon and the ancient sovereigns.

The octagon and All Seeing Eye is connected to this history with Charles I, and Stuarts through the church as the church used this symbolism for hundreds of years. But they are the bloodlines of the church as well!  Yes, I do have to give Cort ” Credit” for connecting the dots on the history that I exposed to him! Only because my dedicated time with him allowes me to present this information for the first time with octagon symbolism that is not architecture related. It covers all of it with…

Below is written and taken from Cort’s blog. His own words are best to explain the history. He as a scholar with star mapping and ancient archietecture that will leave an impact on society for future generations in “his” field of study from my understanding of this knowledge~

Lost among all of this imagery of the severed head and Charles I is a direct connection to the imagery of Arcadia. The character of Philip Sydney the brother of Mary Sidney Countess of Pembroke wrote a work dedicated to his sister entitled “Arcadia.” The last words of King Charles I prior to his beheading was a passage from Arcadia known as “Pamela’s Prayer.” This prayer contains imagery directly referencing Argo and his and Zeus’ all seeing eyes in addition to many secular themes that are surprising given the Kings Catholic faith. The prayer seems to be an admonishment of the view that Charles was intolerant of other faiths. The fact that Charles chose this passage from a work entitled Arcadia may be directly related to the theme of the paintings at Moor Park and the imagery of Poussin we see on the Shepherd’s Monument at Shugborough Hall. This may be the message that Anson is telling us. The Shepherd’s Monument and other artwork valued by the Anson’s is an admission of their Jacobite sympathies to the lost Kings of the Stuart line of rulers.

Note: The Scholars HAVE NOT MENTIONED ANYTHING with this famous mystery site at Shrugbourough Hall. Even I contacted them and they had not return correspondence. But, like Dan Brown’s phony history, this is not phony. This is factually documented and the mystery of Shrug was solved because of my knowledge given to Mr. Lindalh!

So the Octagon history for the Colony of Milford with Treat is now restored and its learned that so many of the same Sovereign families fought each other for power in the UK from the 17th century to modern day that EVEN THEIR IDENTITY IS PRETTY MUCH LOST! From an academic stand point, they made this history lost to my own towns identity!

 

New Update on the “47” Symbolism on the Masonic Firearm’s. Represents “The 47th Problem of Euclid”

Yes, I can kick myself for not being a Mason or I would have figured this one out sooner! After looking at the dates of the Colt with the 47 symbolism on the horse, I had to investigate the facts that the Ulrich’s were not members of the Morning Star Lodge 47 in Seymour Connecticut. The Grand Lodge sent me the confirmation that the Ulrich’s were members of Lodge 79 when they lived in New Haven.

Prior to being members of the 79 Lodge, the Ulrichs were members of lodge 88 in Hartford. Even the granddaughter of the Ulrichs confirmed the other day the Ulrich’s did live in New Haven. David M. Ulrich may have been a member of the 47 Lodge who lived in the vacantly and also a William Ulrich is a confirmed member of Lodge 47.

What it all boils down too, is the Ulrich’s designed the symbolism to represent the “MASONIC EUCLID 47” history! This is mind blowing information on a history THAT STILL associates the Lodge number 47 in Seymour and in fact it links back to the origins symbolism with Freemasonry in America with the Military Lodge. 47 being part of the history with the Military Regiments, especially with the symbolism of the Garter Star symbolism of the “Cold Stream Guards” regiment number 47! Below I added a basic meaning and a link that will better help any reader understand the meaning of the EUCLID history with Masonry.

The 47th problem helps us look at the universe, and all that is in it, through a system that we can understand clearly, for it is measurable. The Master’s jewel is the square, the base needed for the 47th problem (in many jurisdictions the square has the dimensions of 3:4 ? the Pythagorean dimensions). As the Master serves his position, he becomes more complete, and therefore the 47th problem of Euclid is dedicated on his jewel when he leaves office.

The 47th Problem of Euclid – Freemason Information

freemasoninformation.com › Esoterica › Home › Education
What does the 47th problem of Euclid symbolize and mean? … Clearly, reason is based on measurable things (such as through numbers and objects), and is …

CONCLUSION: The 47 symbolism found on the yellowboy, Colt pistol and the Roosevelt 44-40 is exceptionally significant in how important Masonry was in the lives of the entire Ulrich family. Finding this symbolism on two horses on the Roosevelt rifle appears to be exceptionally rare. Which would have been very significant where this is like having a confirmed documented that this rifle was personally made for the President as a Masonic rifle with art the symbolized his personal life assocated with the White Mountain Apaches and Indians in the Bad Lands.

HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION FOR COLLECTORS WHO OWN ODD BALL ENGRAVED RIFLES WHO BELIEVE THEIR GUNS WERE MADE BY ULRICH’S THAT WERE DISMISSED BY THE TOP AUCTION HOUSES AND EXPERTS! My research proves that the top experts do not know how to identify custom engraved rifles by any Ulrich. Where there are a good number of significant custom being dismissed by the mainstream experts! WHO STILL WILL NOT ADDRESS THESE ADVANCEMENTS IN ENGRAVING IDENTIFICATION!

These custom engraved Ulrich rifles being rediscovered are more significant than some of the best quality engraved, signed or stamped Ulrich rifles. Not becuase of the engraving craftsmanship, but because symbolism and information they are presenting!
