Wondering what anyone thinks of this medal. I don’t own it. Trying to get some thoughts. Or any info. Thanks!

I have no idea why it came out all strange. Sorry!

I don’t know what that is but I’ve come across a lot of very fine Masonic jewelry w some of the best diamonds I’ve encountered in the wild. Eastern Star too. It seems that the collector value of these has fallen off to near nill as the population has aged-out or died off (like most fraternal organizations). Tons of it is hitting the market recently. A lot of it is worth the price of its parts.

I believe the wording is: "Duquesne royal arch 193"; a Mason organization in Duquesne, Pennsylvania.

I started collecting these type of gold objects of various fraternal and sorority items. To me they're like little works of art. I'm sad about the ones I've scrapped, before I began to recognize the uniqueness of these pieces and the fine details and workmanship in enamel work, gem setting and beautiful engraving put into producing them.

found a 1930's Elk lodge gold medal at an estate sale for 50 cents some years back. Sold it a couple years later for 200 bucks, so yay me!
