Scope / Description |
Framed charter for Lodge #301 of the Danish Brotherhood in America out of Akron, Ohio. The certificate has a border around all four sides of leaves on a vine and geometric shapes at the corners. At the top center inside this border is the title, "SUPREME LODGE/OF/ The Danish Brotherhood in America/TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN". Below the title are three depictions of symbols for the organization. A spade is to the viewer's left and a ruler under a circular ring is to the viewer's right. At center is a crossed anchor with a key and hands are shaking above. Below this is the text of the document, including a list of its officers. There are two gold seals, one in each bottom corner inside the border. The charter is signed by the Supreme Secretary and the Supreme President. The paper of the charter is beige (maybe used to be white) and the text is black. Those handwritten names and dates are dark brown in color. A maker's mark is present in the bottom center and reads, "REES PRINTING CO. OMAHA". The charter is housed under glass in a wood frame that is stained a medium brown color with no varnish layer. 21 5/8W x 26 1/2L (with frame) |
