Masonic item found at yardsale - Apron!

[Kevo_DFX]

It's masonic, and it's old. It does not open so it is not a bag, unless decorative. Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks for looking!

In days of old, like how old?

The interior white portion is very soft leather.

What should I do with this apron? Does it have value?

its a modern apron used for "lodge use" --its symbolic in nature -- of the actual "real" aprons used by the master masons back in the days of building king salomons temple for god (as spoke of in the bible)-- no slaves were to used to build it --- only "free men" master stone masons of the best quality , men paid for their "high quality" of workmanship --the best of the best at that time.
