Message:: [QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 117344, member: 44"]Damascus Commandery, #58 K.T. Is/was in the Brooklyn borough of NYC. This Commandery charter was granted in 1877. Commanderies are usually named after a distinguished individual, have a bibical reference, possibly a location, etc... I don't know if this Commandery is still going. This Commandery is noted several times in the following online book,Proceedings of the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, State of New York, at Its Nintieth Annual Conclave, Volume 90, 1903. Specifically page 364:<a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=QGktAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Damascus%2BCommandery%22#v=snippet&q=%22Damascus%2BCommandery%22&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=QGktAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Damascus%2BCommandery%22#v=snippet&q=%22Damascus%2BCommandery%22&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=QGktAQAAMAAJ&q="Damascus+Commandery"#v=snippet&q="Damascus+Commandery"&f=false</a> Here's the same jewelry:<a href="http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/kt_damascus_jewel.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/kt_damascus_jewel.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/kt_damascus_jewel.htm</a> --- Susan Edit:Bake beat me to the finish line!
