LADIES MASONIC HAT? WHAT DO I HAVE?

Can anyone tell me what this hat was for, if anything? I saw the 32 on the top & thought masonic - but I've never seen one like this before!
How old is it?
Thanks

 

I put - spes me in deo est - in google translate & it didn't give a translation!

 

It appears it might be Scottish.

The Scottish Rite. Double Headed Eagle. ... Our Double-Headed Eagle features the white-ribboned motto, pendant from the hilt of the sword to the point, and displaying the Latin “SPES MEA IN DEO EST”, which translates “My Hope Is In God”.

Why do you think "ladies" - can we see it with something measuring it? What's with the cords?

BTW - women had their own organizations and were not included in Masonic lodges.

 

try this on for size............

the cord goes under chin - I think - which is why I thought it was a ladies hat; sorry!

 

Under the chin??? Can we see it on someone? Which way is front?

Wow, WHAT A TITLE!

 

This one shows it across the top but then, I have no idea myself maybe it swings down.

 

All of my answers are purely speculation on my part!

 

This one is looser

And those are not women.

 

Thank You Journeymagazine for posting your question ... it brought up a lot of information that I for one knew nothing about, my Grandfather was a Freemason but it wasn't discussed with us children, TY .. Joy.

 

YW Joy.
btw - Joy was my daughter's name - I own Joy's House (joyshouse.info); a sober house for girls I opened in her memory.

 

What a WONDERFUL memorial for your daughter Journey . Joy was my Mothers name and is actually my middle name, but I was called Joy for as long as I can remember. My daughter passed away from a blood clot at the age of 33 yrs, I raised her daughter, my beloved grandaughter also named Joy, as was my daughter named the same. I was an alcoholism counseller for many years .. You are providing a wonderful service and help to those in great need .. Respectfully, Joy.

 

Your hearts are huge....................
