[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9929566, member: 79705"]That's a lot of work to do against the (as yet) unsupported or documented opinion of a brand new member, who misidentified the object use and date. I'm not sure it's necessary, but wish you luck. The klan has officially been around since they were great big losers of the civil war (though obviously their disgusting ideology is older). Stars and comets have always been popular, but they were massively so around the turn of the century, including the lead-up to 1910's Halley Comet. There are whole pages in jewelry catalogs from the time devoted to star brooches. Here's one I have that mimics the center of yours. [ATTACH=full]498720[/ATTACH] If you were a klan wife, I'm not sure how you'd distinguish yourself from all the other women wearing stars, including Eastern Star members...or their Prince Hall chapter who also wore stars and were pre-dominantly African American. Not to mention, the klan have never been coy about proudly displaying their known symbols to attract other losers.[/QUOTE]
