Description: 10 PIECE M.C. LILLEY CO. ANTIQUE 19th - 20th CENTURY FRATERNAL MASONIC ACCOUTERMENTS LOT - SILVER PLATED This lot TEN (10) pieces came out of the holdings of the now defunct M.C. LILLEY CO. Fraternal & Military goods manufacturing plant machine shops. The M. C. Lilley & Co. factory was located at Columbus, Ohio. It was founded in the mid-1860s by four veterans of the American Civil War. They also were I.O.O.F. members (a fraternal society), and since there was a demand for fraternal organization regalia, they decided to manufacture it in Columbus. They made military uniforms, Masonic items (e.g. Masonic swords), and various regalia items for societies and clubs. They shipped some of their products to Canada. In 1933, during the Great Depression, the company was bought out by a Michigan company, Henderson-Ames, and the name changed to Lilley-Ames. The company finally went out of business in 1965. The collection is as you see it, front and back. Possibly these pieces were meant to be hooked together with little ringlets to form a assembly in the form likely used as an adornment part found on a sash. Items measure 1 1/4" x 2" in size each. All pieces are facsimile silver plated. Wear, tarnish consistent with age and use. Please see all photos, as they are part of the description. SOLD AS ONE LOT OF TEN (10) ITEMS.
