Title: identify an insignia

I just bought this metal pillbox and would like help identifying the insignia on the lid. 

Thanks,
Pamela

Hey Pamela,

I googled images and came up with this website:  http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cemeteries.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/eastern_star_symbols.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dailypaul.com/node/39887&h=337&w=440&sz=49&hl=en&start=17&tbnid=reyBTWCNtCj5BM:&tbnh=97&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dinsignia%2Bwith%2B5%2Bpointed%2Bstar%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den

and this website:http://www.saintsalive.com/freemasonry/fatal.htm

It looks like the same symbols painted on the top of your pill box.  You can check it out and see what you think.
