ut your antiques and with Georgia Caraway

Cufflinks have been a part of men's fashion for hundreds of years Even though the first cufflinks appeared the 1600's, they did not become a common accessory until the end of the larity is irts, d have y form

Shown in the picture are a pair of Bricklayers, Masons, and Plasterers International Union of America cufflinks with bullet back toggle I thought it would be fun to feature a “workingman’s” collectible since we are soon wrapping up the restoration project of the conversion of the First Christian Church, which has been renamed Summit Gardens, into a wedding and community event venue Because of the hard work of Boyd and Mike (volunteering their time) and companies such as Rick Owens Construction, the city staff, Baker Air Conditioning, Howe Development Foundation, it has been a far-reaching community venture

Workingmen’s Fraternal orders are an integral part of American culture After the Civil War ended in 1865, fraternal orders offered military-like regalia and pins and medals, were an important part of fraternal-order regalia Many held reunions each year and gave out medals and pins These pins always involved heavy symbolism serving as a secret language only other members could read For example, Masonic pins often feature a golden compass and square with a "G" between, symbolizing the sacred geometry of God A slipper, from the story of Boaz in the Bible, symbolized a man's role in protecting his family

The oldest, continuously operating trade union in North America, BAC was founded in 1865 as the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers International Union of America (BMPIU) It was established during a great wave of blue-collar union formation in the 1860s The organization has changed its name several times during its history to reflect its changing membership: in 1884 to Bricklayers and Masons International Union to Bricklayers, Masons, and Plasterers International Union in 1910, and in 1995, its current name - International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC), changing "craftsmen" to "craftworkers "

The International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) is a labor union in the United States and Canada which represents bricklayers, restoration specialists, pointers/cleaners/caulkers, stonemasons, marble masons, cement masons, plasterers, tile setters, terrazzo mechanics, and tile, marble and terrazzo finishers. The union is an affiliate of the AFL-CIO and its Building and Construction Trades Department It is also affiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress in Canada.

The symbols on these cufflinks are a square ruler, hammer, trowel, a slipper, plumb, level, and compasses Each is symbolic of the relationship these men had to each other and to the world in general

We are all so grateful to our tradesmen who helped with the restoration of the church Come see their beautiful craftsmenship when the church will be open at the Auction for the Completion of the Church on April 27
