Description

"1636" Masonic Badge Engraved to R.B.B. Silver.

30 mm x 38 mm, shield shaped. 8.15 grams. Backed by a pin. Uniface, with large barrel containing a pick, axe and compass at center, with the initials R.B.B. above, a wreath and the date 1636 below. A beaded border surrounds the design. We are unsure of the meaning of the 1636 date, as the Free Masons were formally established some 80 years later. However, references to Masonic guilds and lodges extend back to the Middle Ages.
