The rattlesnake populates the geographical areas of the original thirteen colonies. Their use as a symbol of the American colonies can be traced back to the publications of Benjamin Franklin. In 1751. He made the first reference to the rattlesnake in a satirical commentary published in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It had been the policy of Britain to send convicted criminals to America, so Franklin suggested that they thank the British by sending rattlesnakes to England.
Our bold version of the iconic image, with the snake patterned after the Gadsden Flag and sculpted in the style of an old coin, measures an inch in diameter is suspended from a 3mm leather cord measuring 20 inches in length and is secured with a Sterling Silver clasp.
Circling the snake are the words, “DON’T TREAD ON ME.”
The Don't Tread On Me pendant is available for $100 and can be purchased on Etsy.
