Collection of pins and ribbons of fraternal societies where Myers or perhaps his father were apparently a member. The moose pin, dated 1938, suggests his father. Also, the donor notes that Myers liked to collect pins and medals.

L: 8" W: 2.375". Ancient Order Knights of the Mystic Chain was a fraternal society founded in Reading in 1870, now defunct. Lodges were called castles and membership was largely in PA.
2. Metal pin (missing its inset label) with red and white silk ribbon with coin-like medallion depicing a moose w/ "P.A.P. LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE". Ribbon is printed: ""SECOND ANNUAL / EASTER / PENNSYLVANIA / MOOSE / CONVENTION / LANCASTER, PA, / JULY 1-4, / 1939". L: 4.5" W: 2"
