Dave Posted September 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2020 I was looking for something in my box of personal insignia and I found this hat device that I completely forgot I owned. It's the same size as a "normal" small hat device and it's profusely marked 14k, but with no maker name. However, on the anchors, the mark is an "H" with a "14" in the top part of the "H" and "K" in the lower (under the bar) portion. Could this be a maker mark? Any thoughts on this guy? Thanks!

Matt-M Posted September 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2020 The catch reminds me of the type used on DAR society medals, which I believe were made by J.E. Caldwell...just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Minton Posted September 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 14, 2020 I've never seen a multi-part construction like that before. Is that common for that period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea...I'm not even really sure what time period it's from. I'd be tempted to say 1920s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Visor Posted September 20, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 20, 2020 Would say in is 1900-1920's era eagle. Really a great looking eagle. The closest I have seen to this type of construction is the full size Tiffany Naval Officer's eagle I have in my collection, made circa 1925. Would interested if you ever decide to part with it.
