$14.99
Older vintage to possibly antique age Masonic pin Order of the Eastern star. The pin shape is like a Maple Leaf with the Eastern Star and tiny symbols on the Star each of the six segments of the Five Pointed Star.
The main material is a very shiny silver tone metal, wonder if it could be rhodium?
The front of the leaf is encrusted with clear rhinestones that actually have more of a paste stone look. Due to the silver color and the heavily encrusted rhinestone or paste stones it is difficult to see that there are actually 2 rhinestone missing at the tips of the leaf and an additional rhinestone at the base edge. It is so hard to tell these are missing that one needs to use a tiny pin to feel inside the tiny circle.
The tiny star sits on top of the leaf and looks like the tiny symbols might have originally been painted – currently there is just a hint of a green enamel color in one of the segments – the rest look just like embossed silver.
Size: it is a small pin – approx 1 inch by 1 inch
Condition: safety clasp works on the back but is a bit “stiff” – you have to use some pressure to close it – missing3 rhinestones on theedges ofthree leaf segments – please read the very detailed description above,it is very difficult to see that they are missing due to the construction of the pin and the coloring – I think this may be an older Masonic Eastern Star pin – I think very lovely –
