              Brother Brown,

              Thank you for the post!!!! That is an awesome find!!! Exactly the type of buckle I was hinking of!!! Have any odea of age??? It has a nice construction of the types used prior to the war-assembled in multiple pieces. Also Intersting is it was probably a "stock" type buckle with a plain face. The Masonic S&C were then applied per customers reguest. Militia buckle had this same type of application for numbers, letters, etc.

              I would love to talk to you more of this buckle!!! I will pm you later!

                    Here is a GREAT image I wanted BADLY off of eBay. Unfortunately, someone else wanted it more badly than I.

                    This is the FIRST image I've seen on eBay with an identifiable S&C worn on the breast of a uniform -- and only the TENTH image I've seen (in TWELVE YEARS OF LOOKING) of a soldier wearing an identifiable Masonic device.

                    Unfortunately he is unidentified.

                    Enjoy!

                    • Re: Masonic Material Culture

                      With Veteran's Day coming up tomorrow and Remembrance Day next weekend, I thought I would share something with the brethren that ties what we love, our fraternity, our love of history and desire to pay respect to our veterans.

                      As past master of Clifton Lodge #203 F&AM, I made it a point to bring as much light as I could into the lodge room. To that endeavor, I would regularly present papers (both historical and/or masonic) that illustrated certains lessons I felt were important or were tied to an upcoming holiday or current event. In my quest for further light, I came across an informal degree which could be used in lodge to pay repsects to the veterans of this fine country of ours. It is called "The Empty Chair Degree 1875" and was put together by the research lodge Frontier Army Lodge of Masonic Research 1875 and is recognized by the GL"s of both North & South Dakota.

                      I hope to include the PDF file of the degree with this message for those who wish to use it or just read for their own enlightenment; if for some reason I cannot attach it here is the web link: http://www.iowamasoniclibrary.org/we...r%20Degree.pdf

                      When I presented this degree during my year in the East, I included as many of the brethren who were also veterans as I could. I used a chair draped in black and purple, obtained a plain white apron form my Secretary and in addition to the other items listed for the degree, I put together a small selection of service ribbons to represnt as wide spread focus (different wars/branches) as I could. Helps to have a veteran or two help you on this one. When done, I made a shadow box witht he apron and other items and had it displayed in the hallway to serve as a constant reminder of those who answered our nations call.

                      I am looking foward to seeing the brethren next weekend and will have a hard copy of the degree in case any wish to see it. Any questions on the use of this, please feel free to shoot me a message and I will gladly help you out.

                      Fraternally,
