Man on Horse
This man on a horse remembers the so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688 to 1690. Not really a Masonic symbol, but it does appear on American symbol charts. It may come from an English custom, as I know another chart with “William Prince of Orange”.
Dąbrowski P. 180. Year and designer unknown
Arch Emblem
Dąbrowski has an unidentified “American Masonic Symbols”, see below. There are quite a few symbols on it that are unfamiliar to me, such as this one. It appears to be an arch within some sort of emblem. A Royal Arch reference?

Ten Commandments
The tablets with the Laws of Moses frequently appear on old Masonic symbol charges and tracing boards. It is sometimes accompanied by a rainbow. It does not have the same significance as the Bible.

Mirror and Branch
Dąbrowski has an unidentified “Masonic Symbols”, see below. The image itself says: “Templar Chart” so I suppose these are symbols from Templar degrees.

Five Pillars
Dąbrowski has an unidentified “Masonic Symbols”, see below. The image itself says: “Templar Chart” so I suppose these are symbols from Templar degrees.
Five pillars can be seen every now and then. In the USA they are (sometimes) part of the 2nd “craft” degree. It also appears in the 12th degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite sometimes. I suppose they refer to the orders of architecture.
In the image above, the pillars have the letters T, L, P and F. In this case it appears to be one of the temples portrayed on this chart (of a reference to the other two). In this case the Temple of Honor and Temperance.

Eye
Dąbrowski has an unidentified “Masonic Symbols”, see below. The image itself says: “Templar Chart” so I suppose these are symbols from Templar degrees.
This eye doesn’t look like an all-seeing eye, so it has to have another meaning. Perhaps similar to the ear that you also see a bit to the right.
