We Treat You Like Royalty!! KEEP CHECKING OUR CLASSICLITERATI AUCTIONS! This is a genuine historic antique wool symbolic decorative banner or souvenir flag from a controversial non-Masonic Secret Society, the Jr. M, who blatantly plagiarized the Freemasons' Square and Compass for use as part of their Coat-of-Arms. They added a workers arm holding hammer to symbolize labor.

This group offered a bizarre mixture of patriotism, socialism and xenophobic bigotry. After a great many years, the order did a turn around, They opened its membership to all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds. That is the peculiar history behind this flag. We believe it was made in circa 1910's. Flag is in very good vintage condition with only some normal minor wear. The tip looks a bit clipped, but no serious problems. If framed, this will make a great conversation piece. It measures approximately 25 ¾ x 11 inches.
