Two Yosemite Council badges from the Order of Chosen Friends.
Two large silk and brass badge from Yosemite council, No. 163 of the Order of Chosen Friends (O.C.F.). I have been unable to decipher the meaning of the F.A.P. abbreviation. In any case, the badge is 9 inches long and is in good overall condition. The badge is undated but probably pre-1910. The ribbon has been punctured by the pin on the reverse and is frayed and somewhat fragile along the top. Please examine the photos and ask questions before bidding. From the 1898 San Francisco City Directory: The Order of Chosen Friends is a fraternal, benevolent and protective society. Its business is conducted privately, yet in such a manner that those conscientiously opposed to secret societies can endorse and affiliate with it.
