The large Vice Chancellor's Jewel is from the 1800’s. The size of Pythian jewels was reduced in the 1900’s. The Pythian/Odd Fellows chatelaine is probably unique and possibly a widow’s piece. The buckle and watch fob are both from the Uniformed Rank. The latter contains just over an ounce of 14K gold.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Label taken from the sample label book of O.L, Schwencke, a large NYC printer specializing in cigar labels. This was a dramatic stock label offered to customers nationwide. The use of silver ink makes the label stand out, as it was seldom used as it was the most difficult color to print and involved high waste. Courtesy of Phoenixmasonry
