#20: A Secret Society Heirloom
This has to be one of the coolest family heirlooms ever. Someone inherited this tiny ball from their grandmother. What is it? Well, it’s a secret Masonic ball that unfurls to reveal several mysterious symbols and pictures. This object looks like something straight out of an “Indiana Jones” movie. It still opens and closes without a hitch after all these years.
Apparently, this secret orb was worn so that Free Masons could discreetly identify one another. Where in the world did this person’s grandmother get such a wild piece of jewelry? Maybe she was a Free Mason or her husband belonged to the secret society. Either way, this collapsible orb is like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
