They will help you play cribbage better.

In fact, put a few together and make a nice cribbage board. For me, Masons and cribbage are related somehow. Lol.

And next week you'll be posting photos of the huge masonic monoliths someone has left outside your house.

Not all of those are Masonic, but they are pretty neat. Good snag. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe I'm suffering a bit of buyer's remorse....what on earth can I do with them other that shelve them....ah well

You could contact the Masonic Grand Lodge of England to see if they would want them. Sometimes they have a museum. You may be able to get a tax break for the donation (I don't know how that works in England):
Home of Freemasonry | United Grand Lodge of England (ugle.org.uk)

Those are really quite interesting. I have often thought about joining the Mason's but I can never find a branch to join as it seems to be on the wane but maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe they are so secret you cannot find them

You could do a search here for a local lodge:
Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons (glflamason.org)

I remember you being in Florida now. If that's not correct, just search online for the Grand Lodge of your state and their website will have a directory of local lodges.

The opening bid was £5 and there were no bids with just less than an hour to go so I tapped in a maximum bid of £15. I won and got them for £5 plus £3:20 p+p....quite a bargain I think. Not sure what I'll do with them, maybe put them on a mantelshelf.

If you keep doing such things you'll need to rent an old warehouse!

Nothing seems to help me play cribbage better. I camp with cribbage addicts each summer and they try to teach me but I'm so slow they generally just move for me. Some of these guys are serious, there's a tournament and everything.

Whether they have a 'use' or not is I suppose up for debate, but they are interesting pieces in my opinion.

I would definitely put some ink on them and see what they look like.
