I only know of the ones I have seen and just curious. I want to do some photography that impents these symbols. Here is what I know:
Beehive
Level
Square
Compass
Plumb
I also heard of the Lewis which is very old. Not sure if US Masons use or know this symbol as I have only seen it in UK. Like a small Lewis on a desk of a mason etc.

I am a member of an esoteric Order, American Co-Masonry, which admits women as well as men. We stem from the French Grand Loge Symbolique.
A Lewis is generally shown as a clamp set in a stone being lifted (usually on a tripod) It may be used generically to refer to a son (or in our case, a daughter) of a Mason between the ages of 18 and 21, eligble for initiation because of their heritage.
Mackey's book of symbols is pretty complete but every Order and degree brings with it its own symbols. You might also look for Masonic Working Tools. That will bring up other symbols. Then Masonic Tracing Boards.
Hope that helps without being too direct.

Sorry, but I'm not allowed to divulge Masonic secrets....
