<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 205299, member: 44"]I haven't had any luck in IDing the maker or finding another ring like this. I was hoping the Masonic symbols might give a clue to a specific degree and from there find other rings denoting the same degree. Most of the symbols I can ID so far are common Masonic symbols. I was hoping to make out a symbol denote a specific degree like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or one of the branches like York Rite (Royal Arch Mason, Royal and Select Masters, Knights Templar) or Scottish Rites (4th to 32nd degree). The only one that seems to denote a specific office is the level. The particular level pictured on this ring is the symbol of a Blue Lodge senior warden (1st assistant to the Blue Lodge Worshipful Master). The other ones that I can see look like common Masonic symbols. The symbols I think??? I can ID with the ring rotated are from left to right:</p><p><br /></p><p>1st: can't see enough of it to ID</p><p>2nd: the Level, symbol of a senior warden.</p><p>3rd: compass G</p><p>4th: trowel</p><p>5th: possibly a gauge????</p><p>6th: gavel or mallet</p><p>7th: not enough of it showing</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
