Antique Edwardian Opening Masonic Ball in 9ct Rose Gold & Silver.

Genuine Old Example.

Chain NOT Included.

Can be worn as a pendant, a charm, or on a watch chain.

A masonic ball that was made circa 1910. Of traditional manufacture, the outside is in 9ct gold and the inner ball, that opens into a cross is silver gilt. (gold on silver)
It opens in a cruciform shape with hand-engraved masonic symbols inside.

Great addition for any serious charm collector and of course any freemason or his spouse.

This is one of the medium sizes.

The ball measures approx. 17.3mm x 17.1mm (not including bale) when closed into the ball. When opened 40.9mm in length and 30.5mm in width.
Bale measures approx. 3.8mm.
Charm weighs 8.4g.

Engraved 9ct & Sil for 9ct gold and silver. Also has the phrase 'Made in England' engraved.

This is one of the genuine older varieties with hand-engraved symbols, not the cheaper modern reproduction versions which are pre-cast. Also, note all 4 hinged sections to the top - the more modern ones are not made in this way.

CONDITION: Overall good, with some light wear commensurate with age. They were originally worn on the end of a watch chain and invariably picked up a few surface marks where they came into contact with the chain and watch.
This is a Pre-owned item, making it excellent value for your money when compared to a new equivalent.
