Re: old locket I bought on ebay

Your locket is a "Fraternal Orders" piece made for sale to members of the Masonic lodge. The marking "No.31" indicates the Lodges hall's number. Values vary depend on metal content, this one does not appear to have any gold hallmarks, indicating it's value would be under $40.00 to a collector.
