Okay, now I have had this pin for years and I have not been able to determine what organization is associated with it. What I think is interesting is the skull and crossbones.
The back is marked HARRINGTON KIRKSVILLE MO 10K
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Most likely Yale's Skull and Crossbones Society. I believe the letters may signify the owners major at profession.
It might be an Odd Fellows pin of some sort. The skull and crossbones is a common image on their pins, badges and insignias.

Thanks for looking and the idea. Went on google and looked at images of Skull and Crossbones. Didn't see any that looked like mine but I am hoping that it belongs to that Society.Quote:

Okay...that's it. This pin will retire to my gold dish. Everybody, thanks for the input. :beerbuddy:
That may be a pin from the American School of Osteopathy (ASO). The skull and crossbones is one of their symbols.
The only organizations I've seen with those letters are the "Ancient order of Sanhedrins" and the American Star Order" but finding much info on either is very limited and I cannot confirm if either are associated with the pin ! Sorry Al
