- Comments:
- America Lodge, No. 3368 was originally founded for Americans living in London to practise Freemasonry under the English constitution. In 1937, however, the bye-laws were changed to admit anyone with a connection or affiliation with the United States of America. This jewel was presented to W. Bro. Gerard Allen Crane. He was also a member of Columbia Lodge, No. 2397, also founded for Americans in London and of which his father, Robert Newton Crane, was one of the founders.
