GENERAL INFORMATION. Marblehead Masons celebrated their 200th anniversary on March 25, 1960. Baston designed a Bible, compass and square with the following inscription cast into the rear of the base.
"This square and compass represents the set used by philanthropic lodge A.F. & A.M. [Ancient Fraternal and Accepted Masons]. The originals were captured from the British ship Hope in 1776 by the privateer Franklin commanded by Captain James Mugford of Marblehead."From Dr. Glenn Johnson's book, The Sebastian Miniature Collection.
