The Masonic symbol is the square and compases and the letter G. I'm not sure what that is supposed to be. Looks like a hammer and ruler and something else? Monty

Monty ~ In the description of the first link that bigcypresshunter posted...they are partial designs (half of the G and Masonic symbol on each side). When the lower part is spun, it creates an 'optical illusion of the Masonic image of a compass and square'.

Here's a similar one, claimed to be 1860s - 1890s :

Aha! I get it now! The thing spins and forms the correct insignias. I didn't catch that in the original post. But I feel much better now! M :wink: nty
