Scroll through the data or use the shortcut index below.

Listing of all the preceptories - names/number/district
which I have been able to find is listed by district and in numerical order.

Print the tokens illustrated here.

 
 
"|" stands for a line break. If this is in the outer legend, it indicates the
    lettering is "upside down" with respect to the earlier lettering
"=" indicates the following data is in the field


Royal Black & Imperial Grand Black

The Royal Black Institution was formed in Ireland in 1797.

These are sometimes listed as Masonic pieces!

My sincere thanks to Gord Nichols
for permission to use his illustrations.
Most, if not all, the good illustrations are his.
 
Also to Marg & Len Trakalo email: ltrakalo@sympatico.ca for some illustrations
