    Hi all. I am posting my first (small) Ebay lot and hopefully you will be able to help me with some info! Quite tarnished, I have cleaned them up somewhat. What I know (or think I know lol)
    1. Coin pin
    2. Bastian Bros Co. pin with ribbon-possibly political? I can make out "Degrees of.." in gold letters on the ribbon but nothing else. This one was interesting and the reason I bid on the lot.
    3. Monogrammed 'C' of 'R' cufflinks marked on the back S&S.
    4. Tie pin with blue moonstones? No markings.

    Any info re. age, styles and material would be wonderful. Thanks for taking a look :)

    Ah yes thank you! Would you say that's a 'C'? Deco looking maybe?

    Oh interesting! When I search it says 'Independent order of Odd Fellows the Sovereign Grand Lodge', some kind of masonic order perhaps? I have no idea what the image on the pin would represent with relation to this :pompous:

    #1 is a cufflink I think, not a pin. #4 is a collar tie, not a tie pin. It goes on the collar to keep it closed. The stones look like glass.

    As a follow up to this if you're interested! I contacted the Busy Beaver Button Museum in Chicago and they recognised the button as Daughters of Pocahontas the female division of Improved Order of Red Men. Learn something new every day!
