One
of the artefacts in which the Freemasons of North Munster take great
pride is the ancient brass square known as the “Baals Bridge Square”.
A replica of this takes pride of place among the exhibits in the
new museum. The original brass square was
recovered from the foundations of Baal's Bridge in Limerick when the
bridge was being rebuilt in 1830. It is inscribed “I will strive to
live with Love & Care Upon the level By the Square” and bears
the date, 1507. This Square is reputed to be one of the earliest
Masonic items found in the world. To order an authenticated replica of this unique Masonic artefact, contact:
Also available for purchase: Part of a dinner service commissioned in 1909 for the 4 Lodges meeting in Limerick at the time. Manufactured by Booths of England. This small side plate measures 7.25 inches in diameter. It is bordered with a blue rim and in the centre is the Square and Compasses surrounded by a wreath of shamrocks in which the 4 Lodge numbers are placed. The Lodges featured are:- Antient Union Lodge 13; Eden Lodge 73; Excelsior Lodge 268; Triune Lodge 333. The manufacturer's mark is on the rear in red with an impressed model mark. The full service consisted of soup plates (10-inch diameter), dinner plates (10-inch and 9.5-inch diameter) and side plates (8.25 and 7.25 inch diameter). This is an opportunity to acquire an early item of Irish Masonic history which makes a great collectable and display piece. A complete example of the service is currently on display at our Museum.
