Antique Italian Odd Fellows Gold and Porcelain Medallion, Collectible Odd Fellows Brooch, Odd Fellows Memorabilia This is a beautiful antique Italian Odd Fellows gold and porcelain pin medallion from the last quarter of the 19th century. The top has the Odd Fellows handshake, and the bottom porcelain piece depicts the Greater Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Italy from 1870-1890. This piece is anywhere from 130-150 years old and has small scratches on the back. It is not marked, but the gold was tested with white vinegar and remained shiny without discoloration, and the piece can scratch very easily. We tested the back carefully. It is not magnetic, except behind the porcelain scene of the Greater Coat of Arms of the Kindom of Italy. It has a light magnetism there because there is a metal insert with the porcelain. It is in very good condition for its age and has been well-preserved. It is 4 1/2" long. Are you a current or past member of the Odd Fellows? Or, do you collect Odd Fellows memorabilia and their pins and brooches? If so, you should consider this fantastic piece. Please view all the provided photos as they are part of the description.
