Hey Dave congrats!! The Masonic pin is very cool! The gold is always good, and that is a sweet old bottle. Good hunting, Beale.

Hey Dave I know I have seen at least one MD'r that will pay good money for the masonic stuff. I would think to a Mason it is a very wanted item?

Maybe give the local Masons a call and ask them? I dunno, I do like it, Beale.

Nice stuff Dave,The bottle looks to be late 1800's or early 1900's.I've seen similar Masonic "large cents".I would cheak ebay and see if there's anything there.I sold one awile back on ebay for I think 10 bucks.

You had a great day! The only thing you didn't find was a gemstone in the rough!

Can't ask for a much better day than that!
