This regalia catalog from C. C. Darling & Co. is specifically for emblems, charms, pins, lapel buttons, etc. C. C. Darling & Co. advertises itself as the manufacturer of these materials for all societies and therefore there is an exhaustive list of societies, almost 600 in total, that appear in this catalog. These organizations include unions, temperance societies, lineage societies, fraternal organizations, etc. It does not seem to include any African American organizations.

This catalog is not specific to a particular fraternal organization, but rather contains all sorts of tricks, practical jokes, and hazing tools for candidates and initiates. This includes things such as the electric carpet, deceptive glasses, trick guns, invisible paddle machine, costumes (some of which romanticizes and appropriate non-white cultural heritage by using stereotypes and/or caricatures), and more.
