Thanks for the replies. Does anyone know if the emblem changed throughout the years? This doesn't appear to be a common format. I've searched the internet and can only find the current version.  Wondering if the symbol changed from state to state or country to country or if this is this an uncommon early version of the emblem?
Anyone up on their Shrine emblem history?

This badge was found 2-3 feet underground in Clarksburg, West Virginia by the West Fork River, in a backyard, 60 years ago.  I'm guessing it is a Shriners badge, although I haven't seen one quite like this. It was discovered along with a handfull of Indian Head pennies from the 1800's. I'm wondering if anyone has seen one like this before or has any idea of the history of these badges.
