RAOB Silver Jewel
This is a hallmarked silver jewel belonging to the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB). The jewel features a detailed design with a central buffalo head emblem, surrounded by the motto “Justice, Truth, Philanthropy”. It is suspended from a ribbon in the order’s colours, and comes presented in its original velvet lined box, embossed with the name “J Davis, Jeweller, Woburn Bridge, London E.C.”.
Condition and Collectibility
The jewel shows signs of age and wear, consistent with its likely age and use. The silver has a pleasing patina, and the ribbon shows some fading. This jewel would be of interest to collectors of fraternal order regalia, Masonic and Odd Fellows memorabilia, or those interested in antique silver jewellery. The inclusion of the original presentation box adds to its appeal and historical significance.
