A Beautiful Pierced Cube fob
This rare solid
9ct gold pierced Masonic cube fob was made in Birmingham England 1920.
The Maker is a William
Adams, Ltd. who was quite a prolific manufacturer of Masonic fobs of that
period.
This fob is one of his more unusual items and a design and style previously
unknown to exist.
His more common examples being pierced disk fobs or fan like Triyptych fobs.
The cube format in this example is possibly to represent a Masonic perfect
ashlar.
The symbols on the exterior are of various Lodge symbols.
To the sides you have the Square and Compass, Trowel, Setting Maul, and Wardens
Level.
The base has the 5 pointed star.
On this variant similar to the other in our museum archive the top maul has been
replaced by a hanging loop and then by a globe internally.
All the symbols have been hand pierced engraved to a lovely standard.
It is approximately 18mm or ¾ of an inch cubed.
