Elks

Quelle: Lennhoff, Posner, Binder

Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks 1866 von Schauspielern gegründeter amerikanischer bruderschaftlicher Bund, ursprünglich Jolly Corks genannt, der in Nachahmung freimaurerischen Gebrauchtums gegenseitige Unterstützung und Geselligkeit pflegt.

The most popular Elk piece is undoubtedly the gold mounted elk’s tooth which on average commands $75-100 and more for larger and more elaborate pieces--all this in spite of an enormous supply that has of yet shown no sign of diminishing. (Moose teeth, probably ten times as rare, seldom fetch more than $20.) The jewel with the star and wreath is from the IBPOEW, a black Elks order. The sterling receipt case is a fairly common design but this one is set with a half carat sapphire which is not common. It was probably a presentation piece for a Past Exalted Ruler.
