I went back to my colonial site again, but in a back corner I pushed over with a tractor, to clear away roots. and found these two pieces, could someone maybe ID the glass piece? very tiny size of a pill.

What makes you think it's Masonic??

 

[jewelerguy]

insert from a wax seal maybe?

 

[John_Deere]

I don't see any pictures. Sounds epic though!

What makes you think it's Masonic??

Probably the Masonic symbols...

Looks more Masonic this way...

 

[Erik in NJ]

Looks like you need to rotate the pic another 45 degrees.....as I finally see something that appears Masonic. Whould be nice if the OP would give us a bit of color on this find rather than just a pic from an odd perspective....looks like glass to me....what is the substrate??

 

[kevin hoffman]

could we get an idea of size

The OP stated it is the size of a pill.I think it was in a ring a cabochon.

 

[Klclark3]

its glass colored, with dirt in the cracks, its a bit round toped.

You might want to check the ground you moved with the tractor to get the rest of your ring.

insert from a wax seal maybe?

i'D SAY JEWELERGUY HIT IT ON THE HEAD = waxseal piece and it is masonic

 

[jeff of pa]

Sorry I don't see anything Masonic about it,
But this doesn't mean it isn't I just don't see it.

rotating it about 100 degrees I see H (maybe an unusual Cross) & o




Now suggesting it's a stamp & Flipped Horizontal, & rotated

Only thing I can create is maybe H7O ?



I'm more inclined to believe it's not meant as anything but Decorative But Cool Find !
I hope I'm wrong

 

[jeff of pa]

OK P.S. Now I see Mason



Flipped Horizontal a Stamp from it would appear like this

 

[Klclark3]

so do you think its a wax seal or more of some kind of jewlery?

 

[jeff of pa]

I'd say just a piece of Jewelry.
if Dime size or smaller, Probably from a ring insert.

If Quarter size or large Necklace insert would be my Guess.

is it green ? or is it clear plastic & showing through to the Green surface behind ?

if plastic 1970's / '80's would be my guess on age

I think your may have a colonial era glass button insert.Much like the ones in my hand below.
Take Care,

My guess is colonial or Federal era, if made of glass. GREAT find!
