Folky (and Suggestive) Brass Masonic Square and Compass Ornament heart shaped box I didn't give myself timeMade by a proud Mason who was also a metalworker machinist, I presume, this desk ornament completely won me with its folkiness especially that compass, which looks to my eye quite like a pair of ladies legs, with an oddly positioned and anatomically suggestive! rendering of the pin connecting them. Looks a bit like an all seeing eye too. Pretty fun. 4 3 8 t x 4 5 8 w x 1 9 16 d and in very good condition. Nice patina to the brass, and green felt on
