🤣🤣 Edit: Ida bought that fucker for $1800 in a heartbeat. It’s very rare that Masonic items come into the public retail realm. These things are meant to stay within a lodge and are “sacred”, or some shit. Idk. My great grandfather was a 32 degree mason. No, he was not a jew. He literally was a stone cutter and his company is still in business in Minneapolis. I have a bunch of his hand chissels, stamped with the company name, as well as his ring. I also have an old photograph, about 18x10 inches, of the whole crew standing in front of the shop, with all the company Model T trucks in the background.
I've always thought it kind of profound that, through all the nostalgia, all of the "good times" were pre-Internet era living. Granted we had a decent ability to communicate back then, communication had not grown to engulf our lives in the state that it does now.
A neighbor had an estate sale auction a couple months after we moved. Surprising, I was able to buy his grandfather clock for $80. I offered to pay more but he rather it go to a good home. He bought it new in 1974.
