My grandfather passed away 20+ years ago. A bunch of his old boxes have been in my parent's attic for years. I was in the attic this evening looking for something unrelated and stumbled across some pretty cool stuff (the best for last) Has anyone else have a similar experience?
His WWII dogtags (photoshopped minorly):
This is the first watch my grandmother ever bought my Grandfather. Hamilton watch from the mid to early 1930's, including the original box and manual.
Original manual:
Original box:
A watch that he purchased my grandmother dated back to 1936:
and the most interesting find of the night was a certificate stating that my Grandfather was a "32nd degree Master of the Royal Secret" Freemason. Can anyone familiar with Freemasonry explain to me what this means? Here's the certificate, and a pin that seems to be related to it.
