That is the oven mitt of the master cook

any more information? Whats the material? metal? ceramic? Is there a picture of the clasp on the back? Are there any makers stamps with a company name, date, or anything else?

>the oven mitt of the master cook
Do you know of anywhere I can verify that? I am searching, but not finding anything to support it being associated with a master cook. Thank you.

Unfortunately, we do not physically have the pin. It's image is taken from a very old photograph. I can tell you that in the original, the pin looks to be of a metal, and gold in color. Sadly, that is all we have to go off of.

Probably it's a five-pointed star version of the Red Hand of Ulster, I saw pins in different forms, 6 pointed stars, shield-like, circle, etc

is there any context for this pin? where's the photo from? Why are you looking for information on it? If it's not a possession you own, what is it's significance?

That is a possibility. Thanks. What bothers me is that the Hand of Ulster is always fingers pointing upward. In this pin, the hand is pointed to the side. In the photograph it is the only adornment, so I am doubtful that it was mistakenly positioned when pinned. Also, to position the pin with the hand pointed upwards would require the needle be pinned vertically on the jacket which would be awkward.

So you were in possession of this pin at some point?

No, we have a photograph of the individual wearing it.

>>17299803
ok beginning to get information... so this was a photo of a person wearing it. Is this a political figure or a family member or something? Why are you researching the pin? Do you have some sort of background on this person? Societal membership? Religious practices? Law enforcement? Government? Anything at all?

The individual was a Methodist, political affiliation is unknown. He was born in Kansas in the late 1870's, of Irish decent, deceased roughly 1902. He was a law enforcement officer; a town Marshall in either Utah or Kansas.

sooo, what's the significance of this pin, that you felt compelled to ask /x/ instead of /his/?

>>17299898
The man who wore it is now dead.

>a town Marshall in either Utah or Kansas.

Is there some reason to believe that isn't a marshall's badge?

>>17299898
I also posted in /his/ and was suggested to post here at /x/ instead.

>>17299915
Why would /his/ send you here?

Ok the best Ive got is that the Independent Order of Odd Fellows uses a five pointed star with an open hand in its center, though it differs quite a bit from that one. They were formed before this individuals death and had a presence in the american west at the time. Its not impossible that it was a symbol of membership.

However the fact that he was a law enforcement officer seems a MUCH more likely origin for the five pointed star. Perhaps the open hand was the symbol of some group sponsored by the mashalls/sheriff between law enforcement and the citizenry.

I really dont think this has much occult/supernatural significance.

It was his mitt Mr.Krabs.

He was number 1.
