Mason Antique Rosewood Masonic Voting Box circa 1864

"Antique Voting Box" Antique rosewood masonic ballot box. circa 1864. This "Masonic" voting box is quite rare. On the front lid it is marked presented by E W French HP May 1864 on a sterling silver band.The top of the box has gold letters that says Eastern Chapter No 10. This wonderful piece of Mason or Masonic memorabilia measures 9 inches long 6 and one half inches wide and three and one half inches high. It was made to hold marbles to be used when a vote was to be taken. The ballots are marbles - black and white. They are in the box with the lid open. The flanges on the lid mask the hand as it chooses a marble - white for acceptance of a new member, black for rejection. The box is passed to each voting member and when the vote is over the lid is closed. The leader then opens the small drawer and announces whether the member is accepted or rejected. Each club decides how many black marbles, or balls, are required for rejection of the proposed member. This is where the expression "black-balled" comes from.This is one of the most beautifully made rosewood boxes we have ever had. Solid brass handle. This would be the ultimate gift for a Mason.
