Help!!! Found while out hunting!!

[Tensas]

Found this and another buffalo nickel, with no Date on the nickel. There is nothing on the back of the medalion. Was found at a turn of the 20th century house site. The medalion has on it a shield. Inscribed on the shield are the letters FBC. Please let me know if anyone has any information.

could you enlarge the image? Thanks. D.D.

It is an emblem— perhaps a watch fob— of the fraternal order known as the Knights of Pythias. The letters FCB stand for friendship, charity, and benevolence.

Hmmm... that ID took almost 18 and 1/2 minutes...

Let's pick it up a little, OK guys? These folks need answers!
