<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 138784, member: 44"]I agree on a faternal organization with recruits. I'm leaning to Masonic. The high potentates in the front row could have aprons on under the robes. If they flashed, we could see the aprons! Here is a pic of Masonic potentates with crowns and similar faux ermine robes. Their aprons are visibly under the robes. The man in the middle's apron has a Royal Arch symbol on it. Royal Arch is the first or one of the levels of the York Rites, a Masonic branch. Now I am surprised if they are Masonic related and do have aprons that the aprons aren't more visible! Maybe they didn't want to embrass Masonery with their schenanigans/hijinks!</p><p><a href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/decoding-secret-societies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/decoding-secret-societies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/decoding-secret-societies/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Is that guy the one in that dark weird regalia that looks like a cross between a Gloucester, MA, fisherman and the wicked witch of the west?
