This is a very nice Bronze Art Nouveau Wall Plaque commemorating the 50th anniversary of Eureka Lodge No. 39 F. & A.M. on Jan 16th, 1906. This 100 year old plaque was found in like new condition in its original box. The box was in tatters, but there was enough to protect the plaque. The box was lined with a doily (also in tatters), definitely a touch from another age. The plaque is signed on the reverse by the foundry: AMW NEWARK NJ, and there is a mounting ring on the upper reverse. It measures 144 X 208 mm (5 ¾ X 8 1/8 inches), and weighs 720 grams or (1 pound, 9.4 oz) | This is a very nice Bronze Art Nouveau Wall Plaque commemorating the 50th anniversary of Eureka Lodge No. 39 F. & A.M. on Jan 16th, 1906.
