Pretty kool cause they are a universal language. Doesn't matter if you are english,chinese,russian, or african. If you "get the picture" then you get the picture so to speak...
According to this link they were mass produced in the mid 1900's during the heyday of Freemasonry in America.

Gotta wonder about it's use and the interpretation of the symbols though ..............:&
There's the Masonic square & compass. That's pretty universal, even nowadays.
There's the horseshoe but it's pointed down. The horse shoe was always pointed up so that your luck wouldn't run out. Doesn't make sense in this context.
Looks like a Fleur-d-lis on the bottom ?
It's definitely not OES because it doesn't have the pent symbol. It's something that a man used but for what purpose ?
It's a bit of a mystery left over from a bygone era.
LOL .... don't mind me .... i'm just a bit of a geek sometimes. ;)
That is quite a haul. How much gold vs junk jewelry do you think it is? What auction do you go to?
Most of the rings pictured were gold , I usually do well buying storage units . I use storage battles dot com to see what available , then I also go to live storage auctions in the area. The normal auction house I frequent (non storage just items) is goins in harford county .Quote:

Now about the gold , bring a loop if you need confirmation . I usually not always end up doubling my money on that alone . Prices vary so much at auctions . If things ever get to high . Just remind yourself there is always another auction tomorrow.

Fresh in today 40 complete desktops , 4 incomplete . Got a few other goodies as well as 20 printers . Paid $220 for the computers . Got the printers free . I'm going to save the printers for winter . Had to show off this lot . Best thing was it came delivered !
Great job but you might want to keep the "stockpile" pictures to a minimum, just ask CopperHead or OldDude about the mystery lookers that might break in and walk off with your stash, from seeing pic's here.
I appreciate the concern . Shame we live in such a sad time . I plan on shipping this asap , I also own a gun , have dogs,alarm,motion cameras and lights . I know not to get comfortable I live in Baltimore so it's like anything visible is no longer visible in five min.
