| 1351832 | 2013-08-23 01:40:00 | Hi Team I found this in the personal effects of an old friend after he passed away. It appears to be the motto of a Society, but searches on the web have not been fruitful. The photo has been reversed to make it easy to read, and I suspect it was intended for use with sealing wax. Origins would almost certainly be in the UK. I thought that the Joker emblem would make it an easy find, but no such luck. :( Cheers Billy 8-{) 5155 |

| 1351836 | 2013-08-23 09:05:00 | My guess is something similar to The Royal Order of Jesters (ROJ). Some similarity found in searches of masonic symbols. Rotary "Service Above Self" is in similar vein to "Others not self". But I suspect that your specific item was never widely used enough to make it into Google archives! |

| 1351837 | 2013-08-23 09:29:00 | Maybe your friend was in the Masonic Lodge (Freemasons). Those little diamonds look interesting. Triangles can be associated with Illuminati and all that so, who knows? |

| 1351838 | 2013-08-23 11:31:00 | Funny that, I had tried again this morning before posting and could not get any hits for 'others not self', but I was seaching in conjunction with 'jester' and 'joker'. There was nothing relevant in the hits I found this time, but I think it a possibility that there was a religious connection. It almost certainly came from the UK but in what context I do not know.

| 1351841 | 2013-08-29 20:54:00 | I'm reasonably certain it's not mainstream Freemasonry or Knights Templar in origin. Send it to world renowned suspense writer and best selling author Dan Brown. He'll be grateful of material for another best selling book ... revered symbologist Robert Langdon is beckoned to a prominent antipodean architectural masterpiece (designed by its world renowned architect on the back of a paper napkin after an indulgent lunch) to bathe in an only-just-lost world of esoteric wisdom. There Langdon's revered mentor Peter Solomon, has uncovered an artfully concealed past revealing the departure of a terrible despot to distant shores to become the worlds most powerful woman. These never-been-seen-before revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth - "Self above Service". Or maybe not. Spare us another tome from world renowned suspense writer and best selling author Dan Brown. :devil |
