I (finally!) graduated on Sunday, and since I normally wear jacket and tie to work, I should get plenty of use out of these.
From Grandma:
These belonged to my late grandfather. "F" is for Feng, naturally. None of these are particularly valuable, but they are sentimental. He held several patents at Exxon, and spent very nearly his entire career with them. The horse is also an unofficial family symbol, because the character for "Feng" is based on the character for "horse."
This she found as deadstock. Silver, and the center portion is skeletonized, so you can see the tie pattern through the clip. Very nifty.
And these from my family:
Medallion detail:
B.S. Secondary Education, double major: German Studies, for the curious.
