I hear if you keep digging around in the wall, you'll eventually find pork chops that will restore your health.

Pretty sure it's used as a mold for gingerbread. They used to have very intricate cookies for special occasions.

Don't rub it too hard, you might summon God knows what considering how 2020 is going. Matter of fact, seal it right back up in the wall.

Although living in Europe, I'd be glad to know more about that find. It's a tiny piece of american history, you have here.

Get in touch with your local archaeologist society. Every state usually has one.

@OP I've posted a link to this on the Massachusetts Grand Lodge Facebook page to see if we can get any more info on it.

Oh fantastic! Thank you so much!

Neat! Find anything out about it yet?
Stalliewag
Posted on Reddit to hopefully find out more.
phocalpoint
I do photo work with some historical societies in the Lexington area. I'll see what I come up with. Reddit will probably win though lol.
Stalliewag
Awesome, thank you!

Old honey container?

Mead

I was thinking maybe mead too with the hive on the back.

Is it sealed up?
Stalliewag
It’s not sealed but there’s a little hole at the top that may have held a stopper of some sort. Posted to Reddit looking for more info.
Zahnradfee
Contact a museum, maybe?
ImgurianGeographic
May I have the link? I'm super interested

Its a Masonic alcohol Bottle. It reads 1723 Master John. Lexington Massachussettes Bottled Spirits. The Bee Hive is a masonic symbol 1/2.

mmm.. bees

Looks more like a bee skep

well yes, thats technically what it is, you are correct.

I always think it's funny how the letter "s" changed from looking like a letter "f" with a tail to where it is now.

this is great and all but i do have one correction. the cops have been violent since they were created. 1/2
Calaqupisi
the difference now is that they don't have to hide it to get away with it.

It's not Masonic, it's a mead serving vessel. Often used by the church between the 15th and 19th century.1/2
thingsyoudontwanttoknowaboutme
The practice dates back to early christianity in Europe where priest's would keep bees.
torque99
you could be right. I just took a shot based on what I saw.
thingsyoudontwanttoknowaboutme
Tbh, I'm probably not. As far a I know the practice didnt make it over to America. Just called what i saw.
karlbadmanners
Yep! Beehive is a common symbol we use

So what are Masonic lodges like in America? Here in Scotland they are just full of bigots that hate catholic’s.

So....when are you guys going to take over?
mogarth
Well our grand lodges have put out edicts preventing us from meeting due to COVID, so our plans have been held up a little.

The hive represents a working lodge (Masonic Lodge).
woeman
Fascinating. What a score, they must be very rare! How did you know what it was?
torque99
I could read the words on the bottle and I recognized the bee hive symbol from things I have seen before. Then some quick Google and reading
threelittledwarfs
Thanks for that! You're probably right. The s resembles german style.

Master (Worshipful Master) is the senior officer title of a masonic lodge.

The grand lodge of Massachusetts wasn’t founded till 1733 so this may not represent that

It may be from the 1930s as a promo item. In the early 1930s the Lexington Masonic Players presented "An 18th Century Lodge", with a 1/?
