Masonic campaign lapel pin |
Description |
1994 Masonic fundraising campaign lapel pin for the Minnesota Masonic Historical Socity & Museum. The design was inspired by the entrance portal of the former Cataract Masonic Temple in Minneapolis, the last of the "grand architectural edifices" constructed for the fraternity in the early 1920s. The pin depicts two operative craftsman with working tools fashioning the square and compasses from the rough ashlar. Embossed upon the pin is the motto "Building Upon Our Heritage". Donations through the pin campaign provided working funds to establish the first programs of the Minnesota Masonic Historical Society & Museum. Owner unknown; Collected by Walter Hombach, deceased husband of donor. |
