<p>[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 90066, member: 201"]I'm not buying things anymore, but now that I'm selling again, I do have "finds" as I go through my things to pick out items to sell, so I think I'll start sharing some here. Sometimes I forgot I had the item, and sometimes it's something I newly discovered in a box with my mother's things. It's always fun to find a surprise!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's an item I thought was interesting. It's a fraternal pin made by Whitehead & Hoag for the Knights of Pythias, circa 1895. The bar at the bottom in the back was designed to hold a ribbon... there's a listing on Etsy of the same pin that has the original ribbon. The graphic depicts scenes and icons that have meaning for the KoP and the backing behind the image is celluloid. I don't know what the metal is.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22924[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]22925[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]22926[/ATTACH]</p><p>(Sorry for all the white space... they're my eBay images, which I've been making square.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
