Antique Masonic Ceremonial Pitcher Philadelphia Ldg #500 Tho's Maddock's Sons NJ

Description

A wonderful and rare Masonic collectable, this ceremonial vessel or pitcher commemorates the 40th anniversary (1871-1911)  of the William Hamilton lodge no. 500 out of Philadelphia. Marked on the bottom, it was produced by Tho's Maddock's & Sons in Trenton New Jersey. It has a heavily applied silver gilding which, with the exception of the top of the handle,  is in very good condition.
There is some age related crazing,  no chips or cracks. I would say it is in very good to excellent condition for its age.
Please see all photos to judge condition for yourself and ask if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
