Independent Order of Odd Fellows Collar
The Odd Fellows continue to wear collars up to the present day. Depending on the colors and symbols, the collars distinguished lodge officers, Grand Lodge officers, members, and initiates. This simple collar in white with a red three-link chain on each side was a member’s collar. Lodges often kept a stock of such collars on hand in case a member or visitor forgot to bring his own.
