Description: THIS IS ONE OF THREE RATHER LARGE NIGHT OF PYTHIUS BADGES / PINS THAT WAS BROUGHT TO ME FROM AN ESTATE. THIS ONE SHOWS A SET OF KEYS IN THE CENTER OF THE TRINGLE. ENGRAVED ON THE BACK IS THE COPY RIGHT 1874 S.S. DAVIS S. C. SUPREME LODGE. I THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE MASONIC LODGE, BUT HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT IT IS FROM THE NIGHT OF PYTHIUS. AN ADDITIONAL ITEM I WAS GIVEN AT THE TIME INDICATED THE INDIVIDUAL WAS A MEMBER OF THE SCOTTISH RITE OF PORTLAND, OREGON DATED 20TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 1943 (SOUTHRN JURISDICTION). I LEARNED THAT THESE BADGES WERE MADE AS A MEANS FOR S. S. DAVIS TO MAKE SOME MONEY FOR HIS DISTRICT (OR PERHAPS HIMSELF) AND SOLD THEM TO THE DIFFERENT NIGHT OF PYTHIUS LODGES. I HAVE ALSO REDUCED THE PRICE OF THE BADGES AS THEY APPEAR TO BE SILVER OF NICKEL.
