This beautifully crafted vintage sterling silver Masonic jewel features the traditional Compass and Cornucopia motif, symbolising abundance, prosperity, and virtue.
Modelled in detailed relief, the design showcases clusters of grapes, fruits, and foliage framed within a textured compass. The jewel is finely handmade, using traditional mid-20th-century English silversmithing techniques.
The reverse is crisply inscribed:
"Presented to Fairway Lodge № 7611 by Bro. E. Strudwick, 1st Steward."
Fairway Lodge №7611, based in Sussex, England, was constituted in 1958.
Fully hallmarked for London 1958, the piece also bears the maker’s mark for Ernest Pobjoy, a respected London silversmith known for high-quality Masonic regalia and ceremonial silver pieces. Pobjoy's workshop specialised in crafting detailed jewels, collars, and insignia for English Masonic lodges, particularly in the post-war period.
Entirely made of solid sterling silver, including the integral hanging loop, this Warden’s collar jewel would have been worn during lodge meetings, investitures, and ceremonial events. It remains a significant item of English Masonic history and a fine addition to any collection of silver, Masonic, or fraternal antiques.
Height: 8 cm / 3.15″
Width: 6 cm / 2.36″
Weight: 45.04 g / 1.45 troy ounces
Excellent vintage condition. The sterling silver retains a bright polished surface with sharp, crisp detailing to the fruits, cornucopia, and compass. Light surface wear consistent with careful ceremonial use. No dents, losses, or repairs. The engraved dedication is clear and well-preserved. Displays beautifully and is ready for collection, display, or ceremonial wear.
