MasonicWorld’s Blog and News

During the course of any given day I field many questions on Freemasonry.  This particular question had me at a loss.  Ronn wanted to know the story behind this Masonic fishing hook. 

Figured I’d put this out to the blog in the hopes that someone can point Ronn in the right direction.  The information he has so far:

I have found no one who collects hooks who has any information on why the symbol would be on the hook. The makers are known though, with the original company opening in 1820 and taking on the Clerk, Green & Baker name in 1859. The hook was found with five others of the same vintage but different names and none with the symbol. I am not sure this hook was but am that the others were made in England.

If you have any additional information to provide please contact Ronn at: http://www.ronnlucassr.com/  (contact link on the bottom left).  In addition, it seems he makes hooks, so maybe if anyone is interested he might be able to resurrect the Masonic fishing hook (I googled and did not find other Masonic fishing hooks).  *I am not affiliated with Ronn or his business.  I am sure he would appreciate any help someone could provide.
