Yearly Archives: 2014

As September rolls along, we realized that we had a backlog of new pieces to post to the musuem for you to enjoy.

First up is a mystery fez, of green color, with some curious designs on it. This was a private purchase and we have no idea what group it belongs to. Take a look and see if you can shed any light on it!

Next, we have a National Order of Alley Cats fez, just in time for Halloween. It’s an interestingly designed fez that harkens to an earlier era with kitschy charm.

Lastly, is a Caliphs of Bagdad fez. The group this fez hails from has confounded even the National Heritage Museum. While the fez itself isn’t a mystery, the group sure is. If you happen to have any information, send us a message so we can enlighten the rest of the world!

We hope you enjoyed these updates. Keep checking back, as we’re always adding to the collection!

Hello there intrepid reader! I know, I know, it’s been a while. FIrst Winter was busy. Then Spring was busy. Then summer wanted to get in on the action and be busy too. But, we’ve managed to find two new fezzes to bring you. While they won’t provide much protection against the sun, they will provide you a with a style second-to-none!

First up, we have an Herald Editors fez over at the Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan exhibit. This fez has more after market decoration than any other in the collection. It’s pretty clear the owner was proud to wear it and spent much time on the road at Fraternal events.

Speaking of being on the road, why not hop on the passenger car and chug over to our new exhibit, featuring a Pennsylvania Railroad Club fez. This piece, unlike anything we’ve seen before, is incredibly unique and represents a cool part of Pennsylvania history.

We hope to be back with more fezzes in the late summer, so check back and see what we’ve dug up!

Yes! After having only posted one month ago, we’re back with two exciting additions to our humble collection.

First, check out the awesome new Past Master Councilor’s fez over in the DeMolay area. It’s quite old and nicely emobroidered with gold, so you won’t want to miss it.

Then, you can skee-daddle over to the Imperial Order of Muscovites display, as we’ve managed to acquire another Muscovites fez, dating from 1923. This piece is in very good condition and marks a leap forward in knowledge of the group.

As always, we hope you’re having a great year and we look forward to bringing you more fezzes in the future!

Good day, fezzians! Today, we bring you a long awaited update to the Museum, with two new ladies exhibits.

First up is a brand new section devoted to the Lady Muscovites, a small order designed for women related to members of the Imperial Order of Muscovites, who were affiliated with the Odd Fellows. This piece is one of the rarest in the collection!

Our other addition is a Shriner’s Lady of a Noble fez. While it may not be very fancy, it is something different and represents an interesting trend in the Shrine.

We hope you made it through the winter months well and we look forward to bringing you more fezzy goodness in the future!
