Well hello there intrepid reader!

As promised, we have some more updates for our Museum!

First, take a stroll over to the AMOS exhibit and check out the new Past Grand Monarch fez that was recently acquired. This piece would have belonged to an officer of a local “Sanctorum” and shows the progression of tassel colors as a member rises in authority within the group.

Once you’re finished there, check out the new Elks Fez we added. Having belonged to Quaker City Lodge No. 720, this piece is quite old, but is still in amazing shape. This is the kind of history we love to find!

Since our last update, we’ve stumbled upon a few more fezzes, so more updates are due in!

It’s been a busy summer for the folks over at the Fez Musuem. Sometimes work gets in the way of play, making less time for updates. However, we’ve managed to complete some upgrades to the site (most notably a change to the layout and look.) We hope you like it and that it makes for a better viewing experience. Also, we’ve recently acquired four new fezzes for the collection. We’ll be posting these over the next couple of weeks.

To celebrate our triumphant return, we present to you an update to an old exhibit and a completely new one as well! Check out the great (and old) Sciots Pyramid No. 40 fez that was donated to the museum. This piece even came with a rare Past Toparch’s jewel. It’s a neat addition that we think you’ll really like!

Next, check out the new exhibit over in the Masonic Youth Groups area for the new Job’s Daughters International fez. This is the first fez we’ve seen for this group and while it may not be the sturdiest piece, it does fill a distinct niche for us.

Thanks for checking in and don’t forget to stop back in the next few weeks for more updates!

Once again, it has been some time since we updated. Thankfully, we’ve recently acquired two new pieces that fill significant holes in the collection.

First up, we have a fez from the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which is an organization for American American men patterned off of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The GUO of OF is much smaller than the IOOF, making this piece a welcome find.

Next, we have a fez from a female organization, the Order of Cyrenes. Hailing from the Prince Hall family, this group is a compliment to the Knights Templar, PHA, in many jurisdictions.

We hope you enjoy the updates and keep coming back for more!

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a new post at the Fez Museum!

We apologize for the lack of updates over the last two months or so. As a Museum, we haven’t had many additions to the collection in recent time. This is partly due the niche of items we are collection and partly due to the lack of available fezzes for purchase.

However, we have managed to pick up two new items for you to check out. First, we have a brand new exhibit over in the PHA Ladies Groups area. The Ladies Circle of Perfection, or LOCOP, is attached to the Royal and Select Master Masons, PHA. It’s a relatively new group on the Masonic scene, so check out their fez for something different.

Our other update is a very niche piece over in the Alhambra section. A fez from Adra Caravan No. 79, formerly of Erie, PA (where the museum curator grew up) has been obtained. While it isn’t very fancy, it does provide a nice contrast to the other Alhambra fezzes in the collection.

While the updates are going to continue to be sporadic, we hope that you continue to enjoy our museum and find the information useful.
