foxbasher Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Evening all. I bought a job lot of boxes recently and found a small briefcase containing masonic bits and pieces and was wondering if anyone in "the know" could give me an idea as to their value (if any) Many thanks, fb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nothing like outing the dodgy handshake brigade members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 The items are probably worth more to the lodge or order they came from for historical interest,than on the 'open market' Ebay is full of masonic regalia,far more common than you would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I personally would return it to the lodge or to the grand lodge of england . As it will not be worth owt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Or Mungler Eh? I'm not in the rolly trouser brigade and never will be. When I went through university the criminal modules were all about how and why PACE came about and it was all bent coppers, funny handshakes and operation Tiberius. . Whilst I know that the organisation of today is not the organisation of yesterday and I know they give a lot to charity and I'm sure they run a cracking ladies night, but to me there's still that smell...

figgy Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Mungler I don't believe for a minute the capers of back when have changed much now. In any big organisation you will always get that element. Doing lots for charity is great and gives a less secret society face. Look at the private gentlemen clubs. Any clubs that have members would look to help eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly They do much more than already mentioned. They have a very good support program for families for a starter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) The only other org that gives more to charities is the national lottery . And keep in mind there all non state funded charities too . So the money goes right where its needed . Have a look here at just some.of the stuff we did last year http://www.pgllincs.org/News/2739-Freemasons_Support_UK_Charities Edited April 22, 2016 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
