MASONIC 1 FRM - BEAUTIFUL MASONIC BALL, CRUCIFIX, 9 KT GOLD NECKLACE OR FOB This is a fabulous item for Masonic collectors. A 9 karat gold ball, 9/16" in diameter, which, by lifting 4 tiny latches, the ball opens into 6 segments which at full position open, becomes a cross. The underside of the latches are stamped with "9 CT". When open, the cross measures 1 1/2 x 1 1/8". Each segment has 4 triangular faces, and each is hand engraved with some Masonic symbols. The engraving work is legible but not masterpiece quality. There is a small loop at the top of the ball when closed, for hanging around the neck.

3 FRKT - ANTIQUE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR BADGE C.1900 Not sure what it designates; either the 26th Conclave at the location given (BELLAIRE, OHIO) or a badge indicating how long the wearer had been a member...in this case 26 years.

7 FROF - SPLENDID ODD FELLOWS SASH OR COLLAR C.1880's, WITH PHOTO OF OWNER AND I.D. PLATE Simply as removed from the frame it was originally in. ID plate states "MILTON E. SMITH First N.G. Takawambait Lodge 1878 - 1922". Deep red velvet embroidered in gold bullion, forming leafy sprays, stars and fringe at the lower edges plus tassels. A three oval link chain joins the bottom tails. Aside from deep tarnish to the bullion and some thinning to the red in areas, this is in very nice displayable condition. Does have an old crack with some old tape on back, along the top of the photo, and should be repaired more professionally. We haven't touched it. $95 Sale Price $50 8 FROF - ELABORATE EARLY ODD FELLOWS COLLAR Red velvet on top with silver bullion embroidery and fringe, and purple/black velvet on bottom embroidered with gold bullion and fringe. Inside is light purple satin quilting. Bottom pieces are brought together with the 3 oval chain links. Shows some edge wear and tarnish to bullion, but is very good overall, especially for its age. This is a masterpiece of bullion work and I judge it dates in the last quarter of the 19th Century. $95 Sale Price $45
FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES
2 FROE - FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES DECORATIVE CHINA PLATE 9 3/4" in diameter. Dominated by a rampant eagle perched upon a rock outcrop which has four words on their face...LIBERTY, TRUTH, JUSTICE, EQUALITY". Gold filigree around edge. Has F.O.E. at top. Back mark is "WARNER KEEFER CHINA CO. E. LIVERPOOL". There are some fine scratching in the eagle's feathers, but not easily noticed. I judge the date of this fine piece is at least 50-60 years, and easily (based on style) much earlier. Fine. $45 Sale Price $25

ORDER SONS OF AMERICA 1 FRPOSA - VERY NICE PATRIOTIC ORDER SONS OF AMERICA NECKLACE PENDANT "POS of A" gold finish necklace pendant, with a beautiful red, white and blue enamel US shield in the middle with George Washington's raised bust in the middle. The letters P O S of A over stars in the blue part of the shield above the bust. 1 5/8" tall x almost 1" wide, with a 3D eagle at the top on a globe, with a ring for hanging on a chain. Lots of engraving on the whole thing, the rear having an elk with birds and flowers, leaves, etc. Beautiful condition, but I see no markings; the gold finish is very nice.

Quality item, early by the looks of the pin on back. $35 Sale Price $20 KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
2 FRKP - EXQUISITE JEWELRY GRADE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BADGE - 1903 Gold or gold plated. Marvelous workmanship. A treasure
trove of KP symbolism, and significant because the owner is identified
and an officer of the Uniform Rank. The badge itself is 3" tall,
and a handsome combination of many KP symbols. Beginning at the
top is a pure military feature of two epaulets with Captain's rank at
center. This suspends the pendant, topped by a Knight's helmet,
this affixed to a golden ring faced its full length by a serpent.
Within this border are crossed weaponry, framing an upright fired enamel
red pyramid with UR, over an inverted pyramid with KP, and on top of the
junction of the two pyramids is a half globe with a silver Calla Lily.
The reverse is engraved "Capt. Wm. Stiefel from Anson Co N 16 UP K of P
/ Dec. 23rd 1903". Top bar has T-bar clasp. Gorgeous
condition. $295 3 FRKP - KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS PRESENTATION BADGE 1916 Solid Silver (marked T SILVER) backing in the shape of a house, with weaponry applied, it having a gold wash. The weapons include crossed battle axes, helmet, and shield, the latter with the letters "F.C.B." (Friendship, Charity, Benevolance). This pendant hangs from a small ribband engraved with "Erie Lodge 327". The back side is engraved with "Presented to A.E. Meyer, by Erie Lodge 327 KP July 6, 1916". The engraving went over the copyright stamp of 1874, and other words within the logo. The weapons are indicative of the military orientation of KP and likely indicates a member of the Uniform Rank (U.R.), the military branch of KP. $50 Sale Price $25 5 FRKP - PRESENTATION KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BADGE CHICAGO 1895 10-12 kt gold or heavy gold plate. Tall oval border with wreath embossed on it, encircles the twin pyramids of the Uniform Rank.

MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA 1 FRMWA - COLLECTION OF SIX FRATERNAL BADGES FROM THE MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA Formed by Joseph Cullen Root in 1883. The name alluded to the foresters who cleared the land to build their communities. At the turn of the century, in addition to its fraternal activities, the MWA was among the largest of the 188 fraternal insurance companies in the US. It has a long history of fraternal benefits and still functions in a large way today. The badges are two piece, of fairly heavy stamped brass, with a bar on top in the form of half a log, suspending a large wedge. Overall height is 4 1/8". Each of the six badges is personalized for a different job title, put at top: SENTRY (in gilt); CONSUL, PAST CONSUL, TRUSTEE, ESCORT, BANKER. The last five are silver colored. The wedge pendant has on its face, heavily embossed letters MWA over the American Shield, over small insignia shield all surrounded by several leaves. Lettering/shield & insignia have full color, fired enamel finish. The gold badge has the leaves enameled as well. Fascinating group, probably early 20th Century. Excellent with clasp on back of top bar. One is missing the pin part. This price is our cost...$120 Sale Price $60 PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY
