Help with fraternal lodge pins please.

So, found these amongst my Dad's tie pins, cufflinks, etc. I think one actually belongs to my mother's father because my Dad only belonged to Kiwanis back in the 50s/60s. I know that my grandfather belonged to the "Lodge" as he put it. Think it was called Knights of Pythias? Anyway, it's a nicely made 10ct gold pin. Is there a market for these things like Masonic stuff? The other pin isn't anything, but I'm just curious what it stands for. Since Dad was a member of the Anglican (Episcopalian) church, I was thinking it might be something associated with the church.

The red, white and blue chevron one may have something to do with the war effort and WWII I would say.

 

She's in Canada.

 

French?

 

No. BC.

 

I mean could it be French.

Ok, I guess. But if it were I think Wendy would have thought of that instead of thinking it might be church related. It was her Dad's after all.

 

Just the only thing I found in searches.

 

Thanks, everyone. Do you think that the initials on the gold one are CFB or FCB?

 

Wendy, the ACT lapel pin is for the "Associated Canadian Travellers." Is that the Canadian equivalent to The AAA, American Automobile Association?

It's FCB that stands for "Fraternal, Charity, Benevolence."

Ah! Could be...................

 

AAA = CAA
Canadian Automobile Association

 

Ah, Susan! You are my hero(ine)! So, I was correct in that the gold one is my grandfather's. Thank you for the link to the Knights of Pythias information. Associated Canadian Travelers...hmmm...likely my Dad's but what group it refers to, I don't know. A salesman group? I'll see if I can dig up anything, but Susan is by far a better researcher than I. Thanks for your help everyone, this group is "da bomb!"

 

The Canadian Professional Sales Association (CPSA) was established in 1874 as the Commercial Travellers Association(CTA). The association’s mission was stated as the “moral, intellectual, and financial improvement and advancement and welfare of its members.”

I was a member of the CTA for many years.
I don't remember gettin a pin......but hey.....maybe ??

 

ACT is a charitable organization, linked with the United Travelers Assn: http://www.dailyheraldtribune.com/2010/08/16/act-works-to-help-those-with-disabilities

Now, whether my grandfather or father was a member perhaps my mother will know.
