A grouping of eight antique Knights Templar pins and badges.

The first is a watch fob with a leather strap and brass buckle suspending an enameled medallion marked "Joseph Warren Com'dy K.T. Boston, Mass." with a pennant reading "Los Angeles 1916." The medallion features a crowned eagle above a shield with a lion rampant and checkered pattern, flanked by crossed swords. The leather strap shows wear and cracking.

The second is a Maltese cross-form thermoplastic badge marked "Olivet Commandery. K.T. Lynn. Mass. Triennial 1895" with a red enamel cross at center. A miniature Victorian button boot charm hangs from the bottom of the cross.

The third is a small gold-toned pin in the form of a bag, marked "B" and "'95" with a blue enamel cross device, a souvenir of the 1895 Boston Triennial.

The fourth is a flag-shaped enamel pin in black and white, marked "'95 Worcester Co. Comd'ry K.T. Worcester, Mass."

The fifth is a red enamel cross pin marked "Mt. Calvary Com'd'y Omaha No. 1. Neb." with gold-toned "K" and "T" initials. The enamel shows minor wear.

The sixth is a shield-shaped pin with a black enamel border marked "Beauseant Commandery K.T. Malden, Mass." with a raised Beauseant flag motif at center. The enamel within the shield shows losses and wear.

The seventh is a round pin with a porcelain face marked "Boston Triennial '95, Natick Commandery, Natick, Mass." with "Eliot Oak" and a painted tree within a black triangle with gold studs. The porcelain shows surface wear and light crazing.

The eighth is an enameled stick pin in the form of a sword, with a bar reading "Denver" and a lamb with flag device above a platform marked "St. Johns No. 1. Prov. R.I." and "1802." Below hangs a shield with an eagle and Maltese cross, with a banner reading "Pro Deo Et Patria."
