A historic presentation walking stick crafted of richly patinated hardwood with inlaid decorative striping and silver plaques. The handle bears an engraved silver inscription reading “Wood from Lincoln’s Home / H. F. Stephenson / Springfield, Ills. / 1899.” The upper handle is engraved with the Masonic Square and Compass with central “G,” emblematic of moral virtue and divine guidance, while the underside features an inset silver escutcheon engraved with the Royal Arch keystone cipher “H.T.W.S.S.T.K.S.” — standing for “Hiram The Widow’s Son Sent To King Solomon.” This phrase, drawn from York Rite Masonic tradition, honors the legendary builder Hiram Abiff as a symbol of integrity, craftsmanship, and loyalty, virtues long associated with Abraham Lincoln himself. Harry F. Stephenson (b. Illinois, ca. 1870s–d. mid-20th century) was a veteran of the Spanish–American War who later lived in Centralia and Danville, Illinois, before relocating to California. He died at the Long Beach Veterans Hospital at age 93 and is buried in the Masonic section of Rose Hills Cemetery, Whittier, California. His life as both a veteran and Mason adds meaningful resonance to this object’s patriotic and fraternal themes. Objects said to be fashioned from timbers of Lincoln’s Springfield home were popular commemoratives during late 19th- and early 20th-century restoration efforts. A comparable cane made from wood of Lincoln’s residence is preserved in the Lincoln Home National Historic Site collection, underscoring the period practice of creating relic canes that blended patriotic devotion with personal or fraternal symbolism. This example, uniting that tradition with deep Masonic imagery, stands as a compelling artifact of both Lincoln remembrance and American Freemasonry’s role in preserving civic heritage.
