Description:
A nice sterling silver and enamel Masonic or Free Mason medal with a light blue ribbon. The ribbon medal was presented to Past Master Mason Director R. Driscoll by the Boyertown (Pennsylvania) Lodge No. 471 F&AM on December 27, 1973. The medal is in the form of a right angle tool with the Masonic emblem in its top corner consisting of the letter "G" within a compass and an upside right angel with cobalt blue enameling. There is several Masonic symbols with blue and white enameling on the medal. There is also a squared flamed image of a triangle with squares on its sides framed in a scroll decorated edge with the number 741 above it. The entire metal portion is hanging from a light blue colored wide ribbon having 3 silver colored metal bars with the top one having Masonic symbols, the middle one having the date 1973 and the bottom one having the letters DRD which we believe stands for Director R. Driscoll. enameled i triangle with a star in its center. The back of the medal has the words "Presented to P.M. D. Robert Driscoll; By Boyertown Lodge No. 741 F&A.M. December 27, 1973.

The top bar on the ribbon also has a metal pinback and is attached to a leather strip attached to a stiff leather backing marked Kettell, Blake & Read; 387 Washington St. Boston, Mass 02108.
