Knights Of Pythias ... What Do You Think?
I dug this at an old country store site about a week ago. I think it may be a tie clasp and someone told me that the K P inscription may stand for the Knights Of Pythias ... a fraternal order founded in 1864. I did a google search and saw some similarities with their logo of today. What do you think Pappy? Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy

Item
Jimmy, very well could have been a tie clasp or it may have been the top portion of a ribbon holder. It is for sure something from the Knights of Pythias.
