Gibraltar stamp included Masonic implements?

[<k>]

Alfred George Ryman designed the first modern circulation coinage of Gibraltar, which was issued in 1988. I discovered that it is better to google 'Freddy Ryman', in order to find data about him. He was born in Gibraltar and also designed many stamps for Gibraltar.

An online document of 'The Philatelic Freemason, Journal of the Masonic Study Unit', states:

ALFRED GEORGE RYMAN Bro. Ryman is a noted English designer and painter who has designed the greater part of the stamps issued by Gibraltar over the past several years. One series which is more representative of his work was the series for the Bicentennial of the Royal Engineer Regiment. In the design of the 1 pence value he subtly included various Masonic implements. Bro. Ryman was initiated on April 19, 1960, passed on May 27, 1960 and raised on June 20, I 960. Although the name of the Lodge was not identified, Bro. Pie believes it was in Coronation Lodge, No. 934 in Gibraltar.



Note that he was in fact Gibraltarian, which is not the same as English. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory. Did Mr Ryman surreptitiously sneak in some Masonic symbolism on the aforementioned stamp?

Images of Mr Ryman.

Since the picture shows a number of (stone)masons at work, the implements look masonic (tools), rather than Masonic (symbols) to me.

I see. Evidently the writer of the article thought otherwise. I don't know which of the 33 degrees he had reached.
