1800s Ames Mfg Co Scabbard Piece with Engraved Masonic Symbols bar tool 4 1/4" l x 3This fabulous thing, hand etched with an jam packed array of Freemasonry symbols, would once have been part of the scabbard or sheath for a ceremonial sword, with the rings allowing it to be hung proudly on the wall in between ritual wieldings:) I don't have much of an interest in swords, but I am sure glad someone salvaged this piece, which now I'd hang from those two rings just as it is. The metal piece itself was produced by the Ames Manufacturing
