Hello from the Garden State. Jewelry is coming it at a nice pace. We're pasting some recent finds and are looking for help identifying a set of tiny membership pins. In the photos below -- the items to the right are gold (cross is stainless and 18K mixed) and the items to the left are silver. The big bird brooch is base metal but its a super nice crown trifari bird of paradise that should sell very well.

The question is about the little hockey stick shaped screw pins. The white one is silver. The gold ones are 10K and 14K with pearls and sapphires respectively. Despite a diligent search, we cannot figure out what they heck they are. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Finally figured it out:

a little pin many Masons wear on the lapel of their jacket or coat shaped like a hockey stick with two balls attached. It is named "Tubal Cain." It represents a man's phallus and testicles.
