wm5806 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Hi David I'm pretty sure it's not Masonic, but more connected (in every sense) with the wearing of a pocketwatch. The item you show is a seal, used for verifying the integrity of a wax seal on documents, being impressed into same when wax was still soft. Usually they had a design carved into them, a monogram or crest, or even a Masonic design, but it's not part of Masonic regalia. Hope that helps, Richard Edited June 17, 2011 by wm5806 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps, Richard Richard, My thanks indeed as i had no idea what it was, i have attached a picture of the other medals that came with the seal.
