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.

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!
