A long lost solid silver Officer collar jewel was recently recovered from an eBay vendor and returned to its rightful home.
The jewel was the original Lodge Steward Jewel presented by Bro. A.S. Barker following the Lodge Consecration in 1939 and which had been missing for some years.
W.Bro. Brian Elliott was tipped off about the find by fellow “eBay hunter”, W.Bro Danny Ellis of St. Andrew Lodge and following help in valuation from W.Bro. Jonathan Lambert, a successful bid was made has now been received and ready for re-use by the current Lodge Steward, W.Bro. Lee Wilson.
Following the generous contributions from a number of members of the Lodge toward the purchase, a surplus of £140 is being made available to the 2023 Festival.
