    Antique 19th C OCCUPATIONAL Shaving LIMOGES FRANCE Mug MASONIC Compass FLAG #1  -
    It is a really nicely made Antique Shaving Mug for the Masons or Order of Freemasonry.  It has a
    very pleasing design on the mug which shows the traditional Compass & Square design for Masons and a special touch using the Stars and Stripes on the Shield around the compass & square.   It was made for W.F. Frantz (we think that is what is says!) It was made in France at the Limoges factory (Wm Guerin & Co).  See details above and view photos as they are the best representation of condition. The mug
    measures approximately 3 5/8" tall and approx 3.5" diameter (from edge to edge) at base and 3.75" diameter at top of mug- edge to edge.
