Masonic scholar & writer Ill. Albert G. Mackey, 33°, who served as Grand Secretary General of the Supreme Council, 33°, SJ, USA, possibly owned this mid-19th-century, unembellished lambskin & wool apron. The piece's unusually thick woolen texture sets it apart from the more common and traditional lambskin versions, which are smooth.
