Vintage BPOE Esquire officer badge in silver-finish white metal, approximately 3½ inches tall. Same oval form as other officer badges in this series, with "Cervus Alces" banner at left and "B.P.O.E." lettered around the standard clock face ring. The central design features a three-dimensional elk head in high relief. Single mounting loop on the reverse.
The reverse bears the maker's mark "Robbins Co., Attleboro, Mass." Initials "LWH" scratched into the reverse — the same initials found on the Secretary badge from this same lodge collection, suggesting both badges belonged to a single officer who served in multiple capacities, as was common in smaller lodges.
Condition note: Heavy oxidation and corrosion throughout, with white residue visible at edges. Mounting hardware is damaged.
Free shipping. Ships via USPS Ground Advantage.
I have several more pieces of vintage/antique BPOE Regalia from the old Chehalis, WA Lodge #1374 established circa 1918-1919 and merged with Centralia in 1969 to become lodge 2435 - this item has no provenance connecting it to the Chehalis lodge other than being purchased at the same estate sale - check my seller's list for the other items.
