    1. HI with regards to comments on the RAOB.. There are no side side or higher orders and Compannions of the ark is not RAOB. This doesnt look like a RAOB jewel to me. Lodges only design their own personal Lodge jewel. all degree and office jewels are issued by each banners grand lodge. We dont just get any old thing made at a whim. Paul Richardson (RAOB GLE)
    2. HI Top in box - Old 2nd Degree Primos Jewel (not got one of these in my collection) Red collarette is for a 3rd degree Left (gold ribbon) - looks like a lodge medal. blue ribbon nbext to gold - 2nd degree primos jewel Middle left (red ribbon) - 3rd degree jewel, middle right - blue ribbon - 4th degree jewel right - services rendered jewel ( presented for anything lodge said was good enough) Paul Richardson (RAOB GLE)
    3. HI I know this is a long time ago (7 years) siunce it was posted but..... the lodge number suggest to be that it is RAOB GLE, I would suggest that you contact the RAOB GLE headquarters. they have extensive records on all members going back almost a 100 years Paul Richardson RAOB GLE
    4. HI given the fact the top one has a Buffalo on the jewel I would say RAOB. If it was awarded to Sir.. then I would also assume that he was a 3rd degree (Knight of the Order of Merit) Paul Richardson (RAOB GLE)
    5. HI Looks like a RAOB Lodge Jewel. I am trying to get a list of all lodges once I get it I can check if the name and number are listed PAul Richardson (RAOB GLE)
    6. HI It could have been a founders jewel, with out the ribbon it can be hard to say if it was a common used design. It could also just be a jewel the lodge decided to present for services to the Lodge or Order. As stated CP after the name does show att he time of presentation he was a Certified Primo (2nd degree) Paul Richardson (RAOB GLE)
    7. HI It is a Lodge jewel. many lodges have a personal Lodge medal (Jewel). The person named was at one time a member of the lodge and as such was awarded ti for being a member. Paul Richardson RAOB GLE
    8. HI I just want to point out it will not be a bible as one of our rules is no religion in lodges. If you discuss relgion you are find 1p. The cash is then put in fines bowls which eventually makes it way to charity, because of this we frequently discuss religion mostly religious jokes just so that we can be find. LOL
    9. HI He is not a Sitting Primo. If you look at both sides of the Collar you will see the letters W and P this is Worthy Primo (basically the same as Sitting Primo). Worth Primo / Sitting primo is basically the chairman of a Minor Lodge meeting and he holds the office for one month at a time. The ribbon on the medal (known as a Jewel in the RAOB) will be blue. This medal is a second degree medal. The style of the medal is now a defunct style and is no longer in use. The 2nd degree is different now. However it is still blue in colour. The Cuffs and Apron are also 2nd degree. They would most probably have been presented to him when he was raised to 2nd degree. The chain collar would have belonged to the lodge adn was presented to the WP every month. The style of this medal tells me that he was also member of the RAOB GLE (Grand Lodge of England) This is the largest of the RAOB banners To be a Worthy Primo you will need to be at least a 2nd degree. Maybe this photo was taken as commorative photo to celebrate their first time in the chair This is a link to the same jewel http://www.s119595638.websitehome.co.uk/gle__primo_2_130x280.jpg RAOB GLE Plymouth is still active. There is a member now in my lodge who moved to Lincoln. Look at the website and contact the Provinicial Grand Primo, pass him the name of the person in the photo and any info you have. They will have access to every single Plymouth Lodge records in existance. They can tell you, date of initiation into the orderm which lodges they belonged to, attendances, degree dates etc etc. The GLE keeps some very detailed information on all members. If his lodge is still active its possible they are still using that collar today Paul Richardson RAOB GLE Lincoln
    10. HI this is incorrect The 'P' on the cuff denotes a 'Primo' a 2nd degree in the order. He is not holding abible I will guess it is either a rulle book or a book by Bro Payne on the history of the order.
