Crossman Badge Abou Ben Adhem Potentate Shriners 1979 Name Badge Charles Edel

The potentate is the elected presiding officer of a Shrine temple, and a badge like this was made for one man's year in that office. This one names Charles B. Edel as Potentate of Abou Ben Adhem for 1979. It would suit a Shriners or Masonic collection, or a display of temple memorabilia and local fraternal history.
