The Mystery of 7 Pershing Nevada!


         I recently won a neat peice of memorabelia Ebay: a Shriner Bobblehead or Nodder! A real nice vintage piece, complete with plaster head! The little fellow came with a bonus, Garrison style hat you can see below!



           Given the design of this hat, it seems to have some kind of  'Shriner-esqueness' about it. I have been in contact with the www.zelzahshrine.com/ in Nevada to see if they had any ideas and am waiting to hear back, but in the mean time I thought I would post it here and see if any readers could help me identifiy where this came from and if it is indeed anything related to Freemasonry or if it is a coincidental piece of headware with no connection whats so ever! All I know for sure is that there is/was no Shriner temple in Pershing, NV, and the 7 relates to an entirely different state if it is in fact a Shrine reference. Thanks in advance for any info!
