Two piece lot of a Masonic text and fine and early American Coin Silver turned and engraved chalice. The inscription reads “Presente par la de L'Union Francaise N 71 au F George Deloynes V.M. En temoignage du respect & del affection de ses F F et en reconnaissance des Services eminent quil renduata. Or De New York Le 27 J 10 M M A L 5836.” We believe this inscription relates to the recent death of French general Marquise Lafayette, and may have been presented at a ceremony dated in a Masonic system for 1834. The book along with the cup may not be related, but it was from the same consignor. Cup Height 5 3/8 Inches (13.5 cm) Diameter 4 1/8 Inches (10.4 cm)
