    I suspect this is masonic but know nothing more about it. Does anybody recognise the symbols? francm.jpg

    All I see, even going back, is 1 T inside a triangle.

    individual chapters of fraternities/sororities are designated by 2-3 Greek letters (mine was Epsilon Lambda chapter) could be a seal from a charter

    I don't think this is either Masonic or from a member of Triangle fraternity. The Masons use a pyramid (just like the Egyptian antiquities with the point at the top) and Triangle frat also uses a triangle with the point upward and a big T inside it.

    Your seal has the point of the triangle at the bottom, no T inside it, and three letters at the corners - when impressed into wax the letters would appear as N (left corner), T (bottom) and T again (right corner.) I have no ideas about what that might mean. (And if you turned it so the point of the triangle were pointing up, the letters would be upside down.)

    All I get is an enlarged version of the image shown. I click on the small pics and still it's just the same image.

    Yeah, the other pictures are more of the same. The extra two pictures were uploaded to show the little rabbit which might have a special meaning (or not).
