1826 Capped 50c and Masonic item

[Maineac]

Always thought my first capped bust would be a 1/2 dime or a dime. Never imagined finding a half!
I'm not sure what the other item is? I'm think it's masonic/freemason item.

That's Oddfellows symbolism, not Masonic. Nice finds!

Thanks for the info, I've been searching endlessly trying to find anything on this item. I never heard of the Oddfellows till now.

The odd fellows item is a suspender clip. The patent for it was posted here on TNet, I believe by Don in SJ years ago. I recall it was 1850s

Awesome half! Wow!!

Thought I could be helpful in suggesting the IOOF for your other find, but as usual others are already on the scene with the correct answer and they know more about it than I do. There is a ton of knowledge at one's fingertips here!

Good memory...
Don did post it originally. I copied it for my files.

Wow! That was a lot of money to just lose on the ground!
