Notes: With its logo placed in the well of the Erwin pattern, we believe this was used by the Knights Templar, and possibly by the Worth Commandery No. 19, located in Fort Worth, Texas.

From the Wikipedia, "The Knights Templar is an international philanthropic chivalric order affiliated with Freemasonry." It is open only to Freemasons who believe in Christianity. "A local Knights Templar commandery operates under a state-level Grand Commandery, however American commanderies also operate under The Grand Encampment of the United States. This is unique among American Masonic bodies, as most report to the state level alone."

White body plate with the Erwin pattern (Art Deco) around the rim. In the center of the well is the Knights Templar logo which consists of a cross pattee in burgundy red outlined in dark green with a green and white crown in its center. These elements are on top of a green and white sphere with numerous single line spikes or rays radiating from the sphere. On the left of the cross pattee are the block letters "No." and on the right the numerals "19."
