Vintage Shriners Masonic Moon Crescent Sword Scimitar Lapel Pins (2)
Pin 1:
Gold Toned Rhinestone Sword Brooch with chain
This is a large brooch - 3" wide. It looks to be a gold toned metal and is set with lots of various sized what I imagine are clear sparkling rhinestones. There is a chain that swoops down in a half moon shape. I had trouble identifying a maker’s mark but did see a "Made in USA” imprint on it. I believe this to be a Masonic Shriner’s sword pin but review photos and judge for yourself.
Condition: There is some aging evident in the discoloration of the gold metal. A bit of green on the metal can be seen on the reverse side. It looked to me like all the rhinestones were intact but again, review all photos before making a buying decision as there are no returns on my vintage finds.
Pin 2:
Silver Toned Rhinestone Sword Brooch with moon and star
This lapel pin is smaller than the other at under 2”. It looks to be a silver metal and is set with various sized what I imagine are clear sparkling rhinestones. There is a star and what I think is a half moon attached to the scimitar. An ORA maker’s mark is imprinted on the reverse side. I believe this to be a Masonic Shriner’s sword pin but review photos and judge for yourself.
Condition: This pin is shiny and doesn’t have as much of an aged look to it as the larger pin. It appears to me like all the rhinestones are intact but again, review all photos before making a buying decision as there are no returns on my vintage finds.
