Belonging to my friend's Grandfather, this “Antique Vintage Silver Two Double Headed Eagle AASR Scottish Rite Masonic Mason's Lapel Stick Pin" was received in the mid-1920s and worn through his death in 1962; my neighbor’s father received all his father's jewelry which was stored in a box in his closet. My friend’s father passed away in 2001 and he inherited the contents of his home, including this RARE, Hard To Find Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Pin. Getting ready to move to a smaller home, he has NO children and has asked me to sell this family heirloom; it comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home.

A Rite is a progressive series of degrees conferred by various Masonic organizations, each of which operates under the control of its own central authority. In the Scottish Rite, the central authority is called a Supreme Council.
