Vintage Good Luck Handshake Horseshoe Cast Iron Trivet

This intriguing object is an antique horseshoe trivet/plaque with an eagle and fraternal hand shake. Made circa 1800-1920, it servedas commemorative keepsakes, fraternal emblems, lodge favors or gifts.This piece measures approx 6 1/2" High and 4"Wide. It is in very good condition for its age (please see photos). These horseshoes are highly sought after pieces of Americana that are getting more and more difficult to find.

The top of the trivet features the American bald eagle. The fact that the eagle is facing left is important; in the American flag the olive branch of peace is on the left whereas a bunch of arrows, symbolizing the power of war, were on the right. The middle of the plaque features the fraternal handshake; a universal gesture of peace demonstrating that the hand holds no weapon. And the words spell out the intention to give good luck to the recipient. The back has an embossment that reads: "PAT. APLD. FOR." This piece is a great item for someone with masonic or fraternal interests or perhaps even just an interest in historical objects.
