This is a small jewel. Possibly intended to be used as a Fob. It was presented to WM L. J. Tuttle of Naches 211 in 1926. Hopefully I can find a picture of Brother Tuttle. I think his name was Leroy James Tuttle....
It has a carved Moonstone face, for the Sun.
This is one of the first jewels I ever acquired, and I am thinking of giving it back to the lodge. It is hard to give these things away. But in a way I am just sort of the custodian - I don't really own these. Like Indiana Jones said, "It belongs in a museum."
Anyway, Naches is very near where I live and I have been to the lodge several times.
Here is a picture of what the inside of the lodge room looks like:
I like the Neon "G" a lot. I am not in this picture, but I do know both of the men pictured.
This was the first jewel I bought and the receipt was in December 2010. That is roughly how long I have been at it.
This jewel is 1.25" by 1.2" and weighs 7 grams. It is 14k gold.
relative amount I paid for this - low
As of 2/9/14 the gold scrap value works out to about $173.
However, none of these are for sale.
