Original Oriental Consistory Banner

The original banner of Oriental Conistory (in the photo at left with the 32° class of 1885) turned up in the process of unpacking the museum storage from the Valley of Chicago's recent move.

Here is the banner as it looks today. It is in good condition for its age, and in a stable state of preservation.

Look for an article about the history of this banner in an upcoming issue of Scottish Rite News.
