    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?

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.
