Record Details
Fraternal Staff with Halberd
It is difficult to determine with certainty which group owned this staff with halberd finial. Odd Fellows used such staffs; however, the Junior Order of United American Mechanics is better known for employing objects with the patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme that predominates this object.
