    It's not Masonic and it's familiar, but I can't think what it is. Help! I thought papal or religious. P1170142 small.JPG P1170141 small.JPG P1170143 small.JPG

    @Ownedbybear, on the BACKSIDE, did you look closely at the top of the ribbon and see the letters?? I think there may also be something at the bottom....outlined in red.......

    Oh, good spot ladies. I'd thought it was silver, but missed the mark. The other side says STG. As in sterling.

    Looks like a fraternal order piece. Or piece of a piece.

    I don’t think it’s IOOF either. It’s making me nuts, because I think I might have seen an ad for a scaled down replica of a grand seal wax stamp that looked very much like the bit that slants right, with the rounds. Now, of course, I can’t find anything even vaguely like it, but I can’t stop feeling like I should know what it is. The rod like thing I haven’t a clue about.

    Car booty, obvs.

    It isn't writing, it's sort of scroll decoration. This thing is driving me mad! I think the thing with the ends is a mallet of some sort.

    no idea if it helps but that round thing looks like an old-fashioned school bell and that straight piece looks like a folded fan:happy:

    Hm. I'm now rethinking. Maroon and blue are Masonic colours. But that's not a Masonic emblem.
