    A friend found these in a storage unit she won at auction & I bought them from her.
    Are these real or costume/reenactment type costumes?
    Any idea of age (or anything else about them)?
    Thanks - I appreciate the help.

    I think they're from a Knights of Columbus uniform, so not truly "Masonic" just "fraternal."

    Yep. It looks more KofC than Masons, especially the fancy hats.

    Dressing up box for adults, If no one else seems to recognise your shining virtue, buy yourself some fun bling and a hat based on a Central European police cap.

    Knights of Columbus. The Masons did not always admit Catholics; K of C was the Catholic counterpart.
