What Is It? February 2024

     We had a correct answer for a this February’s What Is It. Jean Roller of Boulder,   Colorado suggested that it is probably a flag standard for a fraternal group called the “Owls.” This group was formed about 1904 and only Master Masons could join. Jean is right that it belongs to a fraternal organization. This item is a staff carried by the gatekeeper of the farmers’ service group called the Grange. The owl represents watchful alertness. Thanks, Jean, for letting us use your correct answer again.
