This area of
our website is dedicated to display items that the Museum has decided to
release from their collection to the public for sale. Typically these will be
duplicate pieces that the Museum has within its holdings. Deaccessions are
necessary to fund the Museum's procurement of other historically significant
pieces in the future, and also gives the Masonic memorabilia lover a
tremendous opportunity to purchase rare certified pieces for their own
enjoyment.
1906 Syria Temple Salad Plate and Orange Tulip Cup
This salad plate and tulip cup with
twig handle commemorates the 1906 Imperial Shrine Session in Los Angeles. The
important trivia fact to note is that this Council Session never took place as
Southern California was rocked earlier that year by a massive earthquake and
the damage postponed the Imperial Council Session to the next year 1907. The
salad plate was decorated in flowers and trimmed in gold. It measures 6
inches in diameter. The orange tulip shaped cup has a green twig handle and
is marked "Syria - Pittsburgh" on the bottom. The cup stands 2 1/4 inches
high and 3 1/3 inches in diameter at the top rim.
The above set sells for $75.00
plus shipping and insurance

1907
Syria Temple Wine Glass - Los Angeles, Ca.
Each year Syria Temple produced a glass to
commemorate the Imperial Shrine Session that they were to attend. These
glasses were sold and traded much like todays baseball cards and pins and were
the most sought after collectibles at these conventions. Syria Temple
commissioned Westmoreland Glass Co. to produce a different glass each year
with a "theme" suited to the city that they were visiting. The year this
wine glass was made, 1907, the Imperial Session was held in Los Angles,
California. Since the convention had been cancelled the year before due to an
earthquake, Syria Temple still had plenty of 1906 Salad Plates and Tulip
shaped cups for sale and/or trade at this convention too!
