Vintage lapel pin from the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE), featuring the fraternal organization's iconic "Eleven O'Clock Toast" emblem. The pin depicts a gold-tone elk head with the letters "BPOE" across the lower jaw, topped by a stylized scalloped crown/antler design that frames a round clock face. The clock face shows deep blue enamel with gold numeral markers, a white center dial with hands set to eleven o'clock, and a small red enamel star at the top — a nod to the Elks' well-known ritual toast observed each night at 11:00 in remembrance of departed members. Small red accent stones or enamel dots serve as the elk's eyes.
The pin is a small lapel/tie-tack style piece with a round gold-tone butterfly clutch back for secure wear. The gold-tone plating shows typical light wear consistent with age; no chips or cracks in the enamel are observed. Please see detailed photos for a full assessment of item condition. A great addition to a fraternal organization, Elks Lodge, or vintage pin collection.
