Not only do you have bad drawing skills but your knowledge of geometery is as equally poor. The Masonic emblems you posted are called a Square and Compasses. Do you know why it is called a square? Because it has a RIGHT ANGLE. Do you see a right angle on your 'X'?

Thought not.

the op pendant make a clear mason symbol for people who know how to recognise it

The only thing that is clear is you live in a land where geometery is not common knowledge.

No problems - the origin of this may become an ongoing personal quest for you - a quick look at jewellery websites suggests these sorts of items are usually one-off designs and made on request for individuals or Universities/Colleges.

The receptacle at the end of the retort is called a "catch-bowl" - its use being self explanatory

ETA: The poster above me has certainly narrowed the search considerably - hope you get some closure regarding this little enigma of yours.

Could you explain more about the retort(?) and catch bowl(?) and how that goes with the microscope? And what about the design on the microscope....isn't it a little odd?

My fathers side is European .....werid....however...parents divorced when I was 2 yrs...of course he could have left something like that behind....Ty for your input..

Exactly like you lol (i was 4 yrs old)
now my mother (nurse) is maried to a italian doctor
that given her expensive fallen angel statues a long time ago
they all make with the hands the "rock on" "devil hand sign"
what kind of angel would be making signs with their hands like making secrets
my half father the doc .. sliped once that he was asked to be part of the mason a long time ago
but told me he didnt join i have a feeling he is lying on this lol

Not that i like Harry Potters movies
this gold bowl could be some magic elexir for eternal life
making pure silver and gold or the philosopher stone itself
it could mean a lot of things .. your familly probably have some deep secrets
and it is now your quest to find out everything

not a coincidence that you found that pendant
maybe its nothing and the pendant is junk ..
if you suspect something .. then you have the answer
be carefull .. dont share your findings to people you dont trust
most legend trully exist .. the world is just "Wow" if you know what i mean lol

Right on...I got you....I like the way you think...if anything....you made this fun..!!

I haven't read all of the replies (short atten...)but it looks like it might be nothing more than a medal from a Science Fair. Just a thought.

pictograms are are images commonly used to display certain things, for example the displays for male and female bathrooms.

a microscope and retort are common images associated with scientific research in general
look what happens when you type science into google images

www.google.com... .274.0j2.2.0...0.0...1ac.1.JXvdClj313w#q=science&num=10&hl=en&tbm=isch&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=41d4a051c7eef54c&biw=800&bih=417

besides test tubes or atomic structures what else do you see? lots of microscopes and retorts

reply to post by UziLiberman


Please don't take this as me being disrespectful because I obviously respect your input...however...

I appreciate others views as to what they think this might represent...all views and ideas and hopefully someone says...1954 science medal from blah blah...but...what if it is something exotic? Secret? Again...all thoughts are sooo welcomed here and very much appreciated!

Ok...so, that curved cylinder is pouring something into the little bowl? I wonder about the 2 lines coming out of the thicker part of the " retort " (?)

i rest my case you're a total psycho, i mean psychic...

That microscope looks like something a spy working for the Deuxième Bureau would use to read microfilm. And that distillery outfit that goes with it looks like it would make one heck of a Latte or something stronger.

I think she earned her "science merit badge" or something like that

wither a school achievement or scouting, something like that

Nope..I'm a fish...ha

That is the base. You would have an open flame under the retort to heat whatever was in the vessel.

If you want to make closure like this .. so be it
that was rude saying i have bad drawing skills
it hurt my feeling you know ! took me 5 secs to make it just for you ..

reply to post by UziLiberman


Tsk...Tsk...

So, I agree w/ most here...I'm grateful for everyone trying to help me determine it's origin...most likely a medal from a school...
