20 pc Shriner Scimitar Lot, Pins, Bolo, Pendant, W/ Claws Sphinx, Masonic Masons

Description

An interesting lot of collectible Shriner pins, all featuring the scimitar, claw, and sphinx.  There are duplicates of the Helen (GA) Ceremonial 2003 pin and the YAARAB 2000 pin.  The Shield shape is a slide for a bolo tie.  It is in good condition and the discoloration on the front in the photo is just a reflection.  The heart shape with the rhinestones is a pin or pendant and is in good condition.  The butterfly is an enamel pin with a Shriner charm attached to the bottom.  It is in good condition.  The spots in the enamel are just part of the coloration of the butterfly.  The silver colored item is a pendant or fob and the finish is off the areas of the front that they appear to be in the picture.  It is also missing something that was attached at the bottom or perhaps it had a tiny stone.  Although it is not in good shape, I thought it was very interesting, so left it in.  The 1776 pin has some oxidation around the edges and pin clasp, but it was right off the original card.  On the tiny pins, the Antioch has some finish wear, the others look very good.  The extra pin at the end was mixed with the wrong lot, so I've moved it here.  It has rhinestones and a safety type clasp on the back and is in good condition.  The others I think you can understand from the photos.  They do not have marks on the backs and I have not attempted to test them for metal purity.  This is a good variety and quantity to add to or start a collection.
