OK, I see. I guess the term "traveling man" must have a special meaning between Masons. I was unaware of that. The only uses I had heard for the term had, shall we say, less than complimentary meanings. I see now that no slight was intended and I'm sorry I misunderstood.
I love doing research on pieces in my collection like you're doing here ratpack. It makes everything so much more interesting to me. Be sure you keep us up to date on what else you find. Bruce
