Collection of ephemera from the Loyal Lewis Legion which includes three letters from Nathan B. Lewis, form of application, ritual booklet, Constitution and Laws.

Black and white photograph of 13 Odd Fellows officers wearing fraternal jewels.

Manuscript address to Relief Council No. 47, Order of United American Mechanics delivered by John F. Gaul (1815-1902) at Philadelphia. It is a good example of Nativist sentiment by a member of Order of United American Mechanics. It also references Jr. OUAM that had just been started and was struggling (this organization went on to become more popular than the parent organization). Address is delivered 15 years after the founding of the order.

This collection contains several drawings and photographs of items sold by Ihling Bros. Everard Co., a regalia company.
