Odd Fellows Antique Hoodwink Blinders Goggles

Description

The journey of discovery is not in seeking new lands but in having new eyes.
The symbolism of the hoodwink is twofold: First, it emphasizes the veil of secrecy and silence surrounding the mysteries of The Odd Fellows. Second, it represents the mystical darkness, or ignorance, of the uninitiated. It is removed at the appropriate time, when the candidate is in the proper state to receive light - often confronted then by a symbol of mortality such as a human skeleton or skull.
This outstanding piece features spring-loaded blinders, which still functions! It also has its original lining! Overall in amazing condition, especially considering it’s 120+ years old!
