Could have been pressed on a button.. Maybe from the egyptian revival period in the 1920's

AGREE! MAYBE even a Rosicrucian button of the 1930's; it was part of their "belief system"...

So you think it's Rosicrucian. Is that a familiar picture you have seen as to Rosicrucian?

Hmm well that really confirms a lot. My dad is the one who duh this and has been searching for answers for awhile. I told him he needs an account and to get on here. He was kinda bummed as to finding out it is not that old but I still think its a good story. I appreciate everyone for their help and info. Hopefully I can someday return the favor. Thanks a lot!

As a button in the 1930's... yes.
