Vintage 1940s Hermann Baum NY Freemasons 32nd Degree 14K Gold Mens Ring Size 9

Description

VINTAGE CIRCA 1940s ERA, SIGNED HERMANN BAUM, INC., NEW YORK, USA
14K YELLOW GOLD,
FREEMASONS / MASONS 32nd DEGREE SYMBOL FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION,
MEN'S SIGNET STYLE RING
IN A US SIZE 9, VERY HEAVY AT A WEIGHT OF 13.2 GRAMS,
TOP MEASURES 9/16" WIDE, SHANK IS 1/8" WIDE
Back of the band is lightly bent out of round and there is enamel loss in areas, otherwise, it shows typical wear from use and storage, including marks, scratches, and it retains a light patina over the surface due to aging.  It is very clean as it is with nice overall shine.
Top features the two-headed eagle symbol, with other masonic symbols on the sides in an enamel finish, including the number 32, Yod, a cross, and another symbol I cannot make out due to enamel loss.
It is hallmarked on the inside B 14K, the hallmark for historic and listed USA jewelry maker, Hermann Baum Inc., then of New York, USA.
We did perform a stone / acid test and it confirms 14K gold.  We also measured this ring with a professional ring mandrel and it comes out to be a US Size 9.
HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE:
The last photo shown is taken from a circa 1920s era jewelry trademark catalog which accurately documents the hallmark and maker to this ring.
