[JIMMY555]

Found this tonight and it was deep. It was so badly corroded that i could not make out nothing but the date. Got 0ff as much as i could. It has a cross in the center with rays around it a date of 1883 and can make out the word charity and hope ? about 1-3/4 in wide and high made of i think silver or something like it. Sorry for the bad picture but that is all i can do. Thanks for any help

Take a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water and clean off the sand/dirt so we can see what it says, please. I recognize the shape, but cannot identify, sorry.

That's it for clean, it is corroded right into the metal and can not get it out. sorry also found this tonight any help would be nice on it is brass or copper about 1-1/2 in high and wide.

The second object is a manufacturer's plate to an 1890's bicycle.

Not sure about the first. it might be Knights Templar

Matt... I pulled my post because I was looking at that same thing...

It's not correct because she (who made the piece) put a bunch of stuff together...

The bottom piece is not part of the top!

I also find this... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25015343&ref=cat2_gallery_1

So this ribbon drop is from the Royal Red Cross, not the Catholic Order of Foresters? I have to agree the Catholic order piece does not look right.

No. I still think COF. COF was organized in 1883, used this style cross, and used the motto Faith, Hope, Charity. Here's another pic. No exact match but similar design.

That is dead on, I saw this ID request earlier today (was on my phone on the net) and I couldn't reply then, but this is the same item, KoC for sure. I was going to post a similar pic, but I'm glad I didn't have to.

The pic I posted is the item for sure but the link doesnt know what it is. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25015343&ref=cat2_gallery_1

I am just guessing because KoC has the same words “Faith, Hope, Charity." If you have a pic, post it.
