The all seeing Provident eye, the symbols of mortality, friendship andSize : see photos - 3 and 3 eighths inches diameter. (90mm approx ) There were numerous Oddfellow organizations in England in the 1700s.One Edwardian Oddfellow history argued that in 1710 there was a \'Loyal Lintot of Oddfellows\' in London. The first Oddfellows group in South Yorkshire, England, dates from 1730. The earliest surviving documented evidence of an “Oddfellows” lodge is the minutes of Loyal Aristarchus Oddfellow Lodge no. 9 in England, dated 12 March 1748. By it being lodge number 9, this connotes that there were older Oddfellows lodges that existed before this date.As a result of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 (when the Protestant William of Orange replaced the Catholic King James II), by the mid-18th century, the Order of Patriotic Oddfellows had formed in the south of England, supporting William, and The Ancient Order of Oddfellows had formed in the north, supporting the Stuarts.
There are a number of The Original Friendly Order of Oddfellows Lodges still thriving today.Condition : good Antique condition.
