    Hello all,

    Long time, no see!

    Anyone got any suggestions on what the heck this fraternal pin's shape is trying to represent? A particular type of school? Or steps leading up into a secret entrance to the pyramids of Egypt? LOL.

    No marking on it anywhere that I can see. I'm not going to spend much time on it, but the not knowing is driving me a bit bonkers. Any ideas?

    Well, that's a puzzle. Not a college fraternity whose pins run to gold, enamel and pearls. An inexpensive thing in its time. But love the Art Deco design.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    A historian that my stepdaughter knows mentioned a 32 degree Freemason Scottish Rite pin. I'm not going to spend eons digging for it, but it's just one of those little things that you really want to know the answe to...lol.

    I'll do a little digging, and if I don't find anything, it'll probably just go in a box lot soon.

    Masonic items are usually better quality,the engraved lines look off.

    I agree the quality isn't very good.
