Vintage GOLD FILLED & Enamel Religious Membership Pin - Western Catholic Union!

Collectibles : Fraternal Groups : Western Catholic Union : W C U : Gold Filled : Pin

 

Here's a vintage WESTERN CATHOLIC UNION - a Fraternal Life Insurance Society - that tests as rose gold filled metal. The organization is a St. Louis, Missouri organization and was founded in 1877 and I would say that this pin dates to around the late 1800s or early 1900s.

The pin measures 11/16" x 15/16", weighs 1.4 grams and is enamelled on top in colors of white, red and lime green. Condition is excellent with no chips or cracks in the enamel, nor dents/dings to the metal. Simple c-catch at the back to hold the pinstem in place.

An interesting pin - a definite collectible! Anyone want?
