Silver gilt Masonic pendant or fob 1970s
A very unusual piece of Masonic jewellery which could be worn as a pendant or as a fob. This is silver gilt, silver with a gold coloured wash to give the appearance of gold. The reverse of this pendant / fob is fully hallmarked and the hallmarks date to 1976.
The center of the fob carries the Masonic emblem picked out in blue enamel. It measures about 2.5 cms wide . Currently this is attached to a matching silver chain which measures about 45 cms long. This piece of jewellery is quite substantial piece weighing about 12 grams.
Generally in excellent condition there is one pin prick nick to the enamel right at the point of the left hand side compass. This does not go all the way through the enamel and so it still displays as blue.
I have more photos available so please do get in touch if you are interested
The makers initials J.W.T are also impressed in the reverse. The reverse is plain other than the makers mark and hallmarks. This fob comes complete with O ring as you see in the picture.
