    Okay Wiki says the Crown and Cross is Royal Black Institution but everywhere esle I look I see it as Knights Templar under Masonic. I have searched a lot of pictures to find this with no luck! It has a logon in the top that indicates maker in Ohio and from what I can tell it's probably "turn of the century" like 1900's but it could be older. Any help on this welcome but I wanted to share before I sell it off on ebay

      It is Knights Templar. Their motto is on the button-- "In Hoc Signo Invinces".

      The maker markings in the hat (THE M.C. Lilley Co.) was used by the company from 1882- 1925. Based on the style and construction of the hat, I'd put it in the 20th century.

      Should have added: the hat insignia is KT as well.

      SO the metal in the threads and buttons, are they real silver?
