A comprehensive and well-documented archive of United Kingdom Masonic regalia and honours, primarily associated with the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE). The centrepiece of the collection is a high-grade 15ct yellow gold Masonic Steward’s "Honourable Testimonial" medal. This jewel is hallmarked "15 625" on the rim with the London assay mark and manufactured by Spencer, London. It is edge-engraved to "Bro. T.B. Ballantine" for service as Steward to the RMIG (1924), RMBI (1925), and RMIB (1926). The medal is suspended from a bi-colour silk ribbon adorned with four enamelled bars marking further service in 1935, 1942, 1956, and 1962.
The collection also features a Past Master’s Jewel for Beacon Lodge No. 4551, presented to W. Bro. Albert A. Chambers on 14th November 1972. This jewel features a finely hand-painted enamelled crest depicting a lighthouse beacon and is hallmarked with the maker’s mark "T&S" for Toye & Co. Accompanying these items is a professional "Crescent Luggage" brown leather regalia case containing a Past Master’s apron in light blue silk with silver-toned rosettes, two silver-toned collar jewels, a hardbound 1970 edition of the "United Grand Lodge of England Constitutions", and an original 1971 Statement of Accounts pamphlet. This assembly offers significant research potential regarding the named recipients and the history of Beacon Lodge.
