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.

Good thought and thanks for looking. Again I went to google images and still didn't see one that looked like mine. I have dug an IOF watch fob years ago and it had some symbols of the IOF on it and RobW was able to id that one but this pin has no other symbols of the IOF on it.

Same for Knights of Pythias. They had skull and crossbones all over their stuff too!

As did the Freemasons, apparently.

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
