Badge-ring-buttons

[tokens70]

OK, here are a few more things I would like to know about if possible: Nih-Ka-Ga-Hah badge, I know its boyscout related, and is for order of the arrow, but what I would like to know is the age? Second is a tiny ring with the missouri state seal on it, just says state of missouri, was this just a souvenir or was it actually meant to be worn. Third are some U.S. great seal buttons, what I would like to know is how to tell the difference between WW1 & WW2 buttons. Thanks for any help, chris

#1  Missouri Scouting pin...

#2 State of Missouri State Seal Ring... no idea on date.

#3... U.S. Army Great Seal uniform buttons. 1902 to present... Hard to tell the difference between years with so many different makers and a few varied designs... someone with a button book may tell you yours are mid 1900s.

Bigcypresshunter has a thread on here that deals with all the great seal backmarks. No definitive evidence of date other than what MJ posted.

Ebay link to item of the same lodge. Must be pre 1995 according to the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/OA-Nih-Ka-Ga-Ha...780525&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1326
This site may get you close to age. Lodge 91 chartered in 1936. http://www.oaimages.com/91.shtml?tn=1
