Ot: What the heck are these? Please help

epsilon phi sigma --- frat pin. But that frat seems to be a mid-west frat. It could be the same letters in different order .....

The Skull and Cross bones probably a copy of Yale's secret society.

Others --- no idea.

Thanks a lot. The owner says this is original and not a copy. He insists it is from Harvard. Does this help at all?

Sigma Phi Epsilon maybe. It's symbol is a skull and crossbones in a black heart.
Also, the L.G.Balfour company was the leading producer of high quality fraternity
and sorority pins, so definitely some frat pins.
Good luck.

Yeah, it looks like a strangely reversed Sigma Phi Epsilon pin.

Maybe it was just made different?

This is a Sig Ep frat pin -



The red 23 pin is likely just for some frat achievement or designation. Maybe we have a Sig Ep on the board that can help without breaking a sacred oath of some kind.

UGHHH I am hoping... He wants to sell them but I do not want him to get ripped off either, so I figure you guys are better than a "Shop Owner" by 1000000%

I would bet the 23 stands for "1923."
