    1. You're welcome. Unfortunately, my reply box doesn't have any photo attachment icons. The medal photo that is now up had to be emailed to Forum Admin Nick, then he uploaded it for me. In the same jewelry box as the KT medal are 2 sets of metal Christian crosses, with red enamel & gold border. One set is 1 3/4 inches tall, with 1 1/8 inch long arms (for the sleeve, I believe), the other set is 1" x 5/8" (lapel). We also have Maecenas' Masonic sword, scabbard, & belt. All might make a nice temporary exhibit here at the Benton Home, someday.
    2. I was doing some research on a Knight Templar medal, and found your site very helpful. So I'll share what I've got. This membership medal was probably owned by Maecenas E Benton (1847-1924), who was a US Congressman from Missouri, and the father of the famous painter Thomas Hart Benton. The shield has 9 stars, and the back is stamped "Green-KC". One of the rays of the cross is missing enamel, but the location bars are a nice touch. Steve Sitton Historic Site Admin.
