1930's Masonic Fraternal Free Mason's Rhinestone Pin, Cross and Doubleheaded Eagle
Description: This is
an amazing early fraternal medal awards brooch, and I believe it to be Masonic because of the double headed eagle on the dropped pendant. On the eagles it says "37" in deco lettering. They are suspended by two chains from the upper piece which is like an inverted half moon encrusted with rhinestones. Most are white stones but a celtic cross shape is formed by the emerald cut rhinestones in red, gold and green. An additional "crown" area at the very top has more small colored stones. All of these are channel set in white pot metal.
The pin has a working C clasp. On the back it is enscribed: "FRED G. DAHLIN, Chicago ILL." Fabulous bit of Free Mason history and a really unusual Thirties jewelry item.
Condition: Excellent. No cloudy or missing stones, no flaws.
Size: 1.75 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.
Price: $255.00
