    SHRINERS 'WE RIDE TO HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN WALK' MEDAL - 1974 (x3 variants): Three versions of the 1974 Shriners Road Runners charity medal featuring Captain J.W. 'Red' Loerwald. One is a green-and-gold enamel pendant, one is a bronze-toned coin in a red-lined plastic case, and one is a larger bronze medal in a green-lined case. All bear the iconic Shriners pyramid and child imagery - these are heartfelt tokens of charitable brotherhood at its most collectible.


    SHRINERS 'WE RIDE TO HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN WALK' MEDAL - 1973: A silver-toned medal reading 'Road Runners 1973' with the classic Shriners child imagery including pyramids and stars. Hangs on a pendant loop and shows honest vintage patina. A companion piece to the 1974 medals and a great year-set opportunity.


    SHRINERS 'WE RIDE TO HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN WALK' PENDANT - 1975: A large, showstopping gold-toned medal set in an ornate leaf-wreath frame pendant with chain. Reads '1975' and features the full Shriners iconography including the Fez-wearing figure, pyramid, and children being helped. This is the crown jewel of the Shriners pieces in the lot - big, bold, and beautiful.


    JERUSALEM TEMPLE A.A.O.N.M.S. ROAD RUNNERS PENDANT - NEW ORLEANS: A vibrant green-and-gold enamel pendant in an ornate gold leaf-wreath frame. Reads 'Jerusalem Temple A.A.O.N.M.S. Road Runners, New Orleans, Louisiana' with Shriners imagery at center. A fantastic piece of Southern Masonic regalia with serious display presence.


    APOLLO FIRST MANNED LUNAR LANDING COMMEMORATIVE COIN - 1969: The standout space history piece of this lot. A gold-toned commemorative medallion still sealed in its original brown display packaging. The obverse shows the moon surface with 'Apollo' inscribed; the reverse depicts two astronauts on the lunar surface with 'Armstrong, Collins, Aldrin - July 16, 1969 - July 20, 1969 - First Manned Lunar Landing.' A genuine slice of humanity's greatest achievement.


    SPIRIT OF '76 BICENTENNIAL PENDANT NECKLACE - 1776-1976: A handsome silver-toned openwork pendant on a silver chain depicting the iconic 'Spirit of '76' scene - the drummer boy, fife player, and flag bearer marching together. Reads 'Spirit of '76 - 1776-1976.' A classic American Bicentennial keepsake in sturdy metal with great detail.


    IOTA PHI THETA OR SIMILAR FRATERNAL GOLD PENDANT WITH CUT-OUT COIN: A bold gold-toned pendant featuring what appears to be a Greek fraternal or organizational emblem, set on a large gold-tone chain. The coin has been artfully cut out to reveal the central emblem design. Condition shows wear consistent with age and use.


    NEW ZEALAND 'ENDEAVOUR' CUT COIN PENDANT: A gold-plated cut New Zealand coin pendant featuring the HMS Endeavour sailing ship on one side, cut in a silhouette style against the coin background. Labeled 'Endeavour' at the bottom - this is a skilled cut-coin art piece with nautical charm, hung on the large gold-tone chain.


    NEW ZEALAND 1967 QUEEN ELIZABETH CUT COIN PENDANT: The obverse companion cut coin to the Endeavour piece, featuring a beautifully cut silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II in profile. Dated 1967 and inscribed with partial 'New Zealand' text. Gold-plated and artfully crafted - these two cut coin pieces together make a matched pair.


    HORSESHOE LUCK PENDANT - GOLD TONE: A simple but cheerful round gold-toned pendant featuring a raised horseshoe symbol. Lightweight costume jewelry style with a pendant loop. A little good luck charm with retro flair.


    SPANISH-STYLE 'REX HISPANIARUM' REPLICA COIN PENDANT IN GOLD CHAIN BEZEL: A dramatic gold-toned reproduction of a Spanish doubloon or piece of eight, reading 'Rex Hispaniarum et Indiarum' around a central cross and castle design. Set in an ornate gold chain-link bezel frame with a rectangular bail. Perfect pirate-era aesthetic for the swashbuckler collector.


    MELVIN PRICE LOCKS AND DAM DEDICATION COIN IN CASE: A bronze-toned commemorative coin in a red-lined plastic display case. Features a portrait of Congressman Melvin Price and reads 'Dedication Ceremony - Melvin Price Locks and Dam.' A localized piece of American infrastructure and political history that rarely surfaces in the wild.


    GEORGE WASHINGTON SOUVENIR COIN/TOKEN: A small silver-toned coin or token featuring a profile of George Washington with partial text reading '1st President U.S.A.' with 'George Washington' below. Drilled for pendant use. Vintage patriotic pocket piece with well-worn charm.


    CHAINS (x3): Three loose chains are included in this lot - one large gold-tone oval link chain, one medium silver-tone curb link chain, and one thinner gold-tone double curb link chain. All appear to be base metal costume jewelry chains in wearable condition.
