Masonic Fraternal Lodge Logo Platter Vintage 1950s-60s Restaurantware from a New England Estate

This is actually an estate treasure from my own family (I'm the owner of the shops)
Been putting off going through boxes from my family estate that included many storage boxes from estates of those who have been gone for decades.

This comes from a Mason who also managed dining cars on railroads and owned small restaurants. He clearly hosted Masonic meetings at one of those places as we've found other items like silverware...

This serving platter is aprox 12 3/4" long.

Stamped:
MADE EXPRESSLY FOR J. Mc D & S.

A note about our authentication and correctness of descriptions:
We have exercised reasonable effort to describe each item we sell, correctly and accurately. Unless otherwise noted there is no official authentication of our items, authentication comes with a fee, and will mean additional costs. Most of our items that are certified authentic are done so via consignment sales, usually specialized auction companies. We take as many photos as we can to show details of our items, and do our best to describe any flaws.
We know many of our items from estate clearances are "loved," have been used, and will show signs of wear and or storage.
