Large antique BPOE Elks 1189 Oregon City pin-New Mexico metal detecting find

Description

See my other auctions for more neat lots of antique relics found during 40+ years metal detecting and digging in the Southwest. Very large, old brooch/pin/buckle from BPOE Elks lodge #1189 in Oregon City, Oregon, which was founded in 1910. This was found many years ago at the old coal mining town of Carthage, New Mexico, which has now completely disappeared. Very large-Measures approx. 2 9/16" x 1 3/4". It is dated 1912, and made by the Whitehead-Hogg Co. Thick, heavily made construction-just like a belt buckle. Nice dug condition, the pin is missing from the back. Glad to combine shipping if you win multiple auctions. Thanks for bidding!
