Item Description
Badges range from 2" to 5" tall. All feature enamel work with the first ornate badge being in silvered brass and the others in brass. The first four pieces all reference Chicago 1910 and include the event title "31st Triennial Conclave." The first and fourth pieces include a few tiny hairlines in the white enamel segments while the third piece has some near pinpoint dots of missing enamel as made on the circular center around the words "Lincoln Park Commandery." The fifth piece also references Chicago but is undated. Sixth piece names "Joseph Warren Commandery/Boston Mass." issued for an event in "Denver 1913." Last piece with tiny skull and cross bones at its center has border text "35th Triennial Conclave Chicago Comm'dy No. 19 K.T. 1922 New Orleans." The Denver piece has tiny discoloration mostly on the left side in the white enamel as produced. We just noticed a little damage on the fourth piece, which has small area of red enamel missing from just below the center shield design. Overall conditions are VF to NM. Incredible workmanship. All very scarce and issued for very brief convention events.
