1922 Alabama Grand
Commandery
Knight Templar
Plate
This antique
porcelain plate commemorates the 35th Triennial Conclave of the Knights Templar in New
Orleans, Louisiana in 1922. This conclave was for the Grand Commandery of Alabama. This
Christian oriented fraternal organization was originally founded in the 11th century by
the laymen who defended the Christian pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. Today, this
organization supports Masonic-related activities, charities, and events to help raise
money for educational and medical advancements. The emblem in the center has the images of
a knight, sword, and a cross with the Latin words “In Hoc Signo Vinces” which
means, "By this sign we shall conquer." The back of this 8 inch plate has the
manufacturer’s stamp which reads “National China Salineville, O.”. This
antique commemorative plate is in very good condition without any chips, flakes, cracks,
stains, crazing, flaws or repairs.
