I would agree with Zack, it appears to be a Trestleboard, where the Master would lay out the work for the day. I'd also second the notion that the image isn't of American origin... there's a skirret in the upper right.

Site was easy to find, though I didn't see any Masonic rings. Looks like they specialize in puzzle rings.

We have a lot of discussion about dues here; what's too high, what's too low, what you get for your money, et cetera, et cetera. So I thought I'd put it into a bit of perspective... I am an official for an amateur sports league. To be an active official with voting rights, I pay $10 a month...

www.themasterscraft.net does custom coins, you could get some made for your lodge. I already have my Mark penny and a CoR coin, so I really don't need another one.

An average of over 400 a year... not bad for a group that I am constantly discovering "no one" has heard of. (Member 968)

The ones I've seen are representations of the symbols of each Degree, all of which should have been explained during the lectures. Unless I'm missing something in your question...

Some odd jumps there... Billy Bob Thornton

The only portrait I've ever seen inside a lodge room was Brother George. PMs, etc have always been in the lobby, dining room, or anteroom. Can't say that I've ever read a rule conserving them either way.

Welcome.

Welcome to the neighborhood.
