So I'm watching Storage Wars and these beauties were found and featured on the show there was also a ring but they didn't show a close up....Jared and Brandy then took then to the Pasadena(CA) MASONIC TEMPLE where PM Greg Gabriel appraised that lot @ $700 Sent from my LG-H918 using My Freemasonry mobile app
I didn't think it looked deep enough. Maybe they're engraved with something special but that PM is welcome to come shopping at my place A good friend (a bro) told me of a single metal tassel from an English type apron ( think Toye's) he saw in an antique shop for $80. Last 1 I threw out, I cut them off to give to him as a $160 gift/joke lol....
I think it was the ring that pushed it up so high. When he was looking at it he said it looked almost brand new Sent from my LG-H918 using My Freemasonry mobile app
Yes an ashtray.... As a brother pointed out to me that is someones Freemasonic experience summed up in a few odd items and makes you wonder what our grandkids will do with our Freemasonic items when we are gone! Sent from my LG-H918 using My Freemasonry mobile app
Actually, they were quite popular in the "golden age of smoking." Every lodge lounge had them and they were regularly used.
