Featured Who is this little hooded one and what is this pin for?

It came in an auction lot with a bunch of other smalls. Any idea what it represents? I'm not even sure if it's a male or female face. It looks like Peterson is the name on back.

Thanks!

 

That looks so familiar. It almost reminds me of the cartoon character from Sleeping Beauty, not her the witch.. Just guessing.

 

Just a middle-aged lady wearing her daily driver cap. Don't ask me where she came from, but she's familiar.

 

looks like a guy to me.......

 

Looks like a wimple - note what appears to be a band on forehead and under chin. don't know about the point on the back though. Could be a modern pilgram badge - souvenir. Or she could be the nurse from Romeo and Juliet.

 

Bother, I’ve seen this, and I think it’s German.

 

Ebay-
****RARE****Antique Friars Monastery Lapel Pin-$12.99
-that's all the seller says.

 

How about 'The Friars Club' in NY or Hollywood ? Where they had the original celebrity '
Roasts' back in the day.

 

A "Friars Club" seems more likely than actual (religious) friars... I doubt they'd sell souvenir pins...?
[That ebay seller's title is a bit annoying. Monks live in monasteries, not friars.]

 

then there's also Providence College

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE PC FRIARS Mascot Rhode Island RI Hat/Lapel Pin Black/Silver | #1883073682 (worthpoint.com)

 

Here's the Providence College Mascot (court side). He reminds me more of HP Lovecraft's Providence,ready to summon something up.

 

So a college pin.

Loved his writings/stories of the Cthulhu Mythos and the Northeast. Hail Yog-Sothoth.

 

Once you don't you've read him you don't forget.

 

Aye, I have read most of his stories. What an imagination he had.

 

I'm reading currently 'The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories', 3.6 Lbs of odd & bizarre literature from the last few centuries-Kafaka,Murakami,Borges,etc. I like to take a break from the classics & purely entertaining now & then.

 

I'm sorry I haven't been back before now. But, I stopped getting notifications for the thread.

Thank you all very much. Especially you bosko6!

 

It's probably based on Blackfriars but what club or group or fraternity it was for? \0/

 

My pleash !
