    Description

    Vintage solid copper ashtray with applied arrow head medallion measures 5.5" in diameter. Issued for the Improved Order of Rem Men, America's Oldest Fraternal Organization.
    The fraternity traces its origins back to 1765 and is descended from the Sons of Liberty. These patriots concealed their identities and worked "underground" to help establish freedom and liberty in the early Colonies. They patterned themselves after the great Iroquois Confederacy and its democratic governing body. Their system, with elected representatives to govern tribal councils, had been in existence for several centuries. After the War of 1812 the name was changed to the Society of Red Men and in 1834 to the Improved Order of Red Men. They kept the customs and terminology of Native Americans as a basic part of the fraternity.
    This piece probably dates to the first half of the 20th century.
