Vintage Masonic Lodge No. 284 Blue Ball Cap

About this hat

A member cap for Masonic Lodge No. 284

Masonic lodges are numbered within each state, so many states have a Lodge No. 284. Lodges ordered caps like this for members to wear at fish fries, parades, fundraisers and work days.

Nothing on the front says which state this lodge is in. A tag, a town name on the back, or where the hat turned up would narrow it down. If you know, please add it below.
