Masonic jaguar pin?

[cheese]

Does anyone recognize this pin? One is a pin, one is a cufflink I guess. It looks like it's masonic to me, or shriners or something similar. Thanks for any ideas.

Lots of Masonic organizations used the crescent moon. Shriner pins more often than not include a saber/sword. Your pin/cufflink are ...

"Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan"

"D.O.K.K."

Which were a subdivision of "The Knights of Pythias."

Its hard to say for certain, but my guess is your items are 1920s-1930s

You should be able to find more examples and information by using the proper search words.

I am including the following two pictures in order to establish ...

1. The D.O.K.K. Connection. (Ashtray)
[ Notice the F.C.B. on the ashtray - Which is from The Knights of Pythias ]
"Friendship ~ Charity ~ Benevolence"

2. Tiger and not a Jaguar or Cat. (Pin)

The D.O.K.K. were a fun-loving organization and not taken too seriously. I think it was where the Knights of Pythias "rejects" ended up. (Lol)
