History

Masonic fobs like this were popular accessories for pocket watch chains (albert chains) and were worn by Freemasons as symbols of their membership and rank within the organization. These items are highly valued by Masonic memorabilia collectors and those interested in fraternal organizations for their craftsmanship, symbolism, and connection to the secretive history of Freemasonry.
