Featured Does anyone know what society/fraternity/sorority this is?

The little GF charm and bracelet were a whole $2, sapphires are cornflower blue and testing as sapphires. Does anyone know what the symbols mean and what club/society/fraternity/sorority they may represent? Why does the guy remind me of the god Vulcan? Thank you!

 

He does look like a blacksmith - But I can't imagine a blacksmith working shirtless. I tried searching with the t as a Tau and the d as Delta, but that didn't help. All the ones with Delta use the official Greek symbol instead of a letter D.

 

Yes, I tried the Greek letters, too. I also googled blacksmith societies, no luck.

Hum... Well, can't see the entire thing but assume it's a charm for a charm bracelet so meant for use by a woman. Doesn't look Greek (and if it were would use the Delta symbol instead of a letter D.) But that does appear to be the Greek god Vulcan. A club or organization, I'd think, with the three sapphires indicating years of membership or service.

Here's a long-shot. Cal U in California, Pennsylvania. Team mascot is Blaze the Vulcan. The have a dance team club. I wonder if this was their mascot image back in the day.

 

I wonder if what we've been seeing as a T over the D is actually a Greek letter Phi?

 

I had a body like that once,but I had to give it back as I was wrinkling it.

 

When my husband was due for a small reward such as this from a company, he got to select if he wanted it in pin form or as a charm. I would not assume that because this is a charm, it wasn't for a man's work. It LOOKS like a 30-year charm.

 

the alphabet of Argos has such a D. the three stones could stand for faith, love, hope.

 

Yeah, I don't think it's Greek. If it were, the fraternity name would be accompanied by a fraternity symbol, rather than a college mascot. Looks much more like a corporate service pin.

When searching using Tau as a term, I did come across a Tau Development that has something to do with firearms. Maybe the concentric circles are a target bullseye?

 

WOW! I have many leads now, thanks guys!

 

Thanks, guys, I have many leads now to research. I pick these kinds of charms up when I see them. I have a few I can't ID, and someday I will put them on a GF charm bracelet because many have diamonds and genuine gemstones, even though they are gold-filled.
