Who Wore the Daughters of the Nile Emblem? 🗡️ A 1960s Metallic Decal, Sealed on Its Card

Size: 3" or 3 1/4", your choice ~ Factory sealed, little to no wear. ~ or 3 1/4"- It is unknown if the adhesive still works, as that is usually the first thing to fail.

A vintage 1960s Daughters of the Nile decal, factory sealed, highly collectible, and a poignant reminder of a time when we celebrated our community and their contributions. Nobody's printing these 49-cent cards anymore, and once the sealed ones are gone they will be very difficult to acquire.

The emblem puts a scimitar lettered DAUGHTERS OF THE NILE over a crescent, with a small sphinx head at the top of the crescent's curve and a long-stemmed rose laid across it, all inside a metallic foil ring.

It is unknown if the adhesive still works, as that is usually the first thing to fail. It may require assistance, also known as glue, to affix.

Please refer to the pictures. It provides details and is considered part of the description for you.

🏷️ What's Printed on It

• DAUGHTERS OF THE NILE, on the scimitar
• Card: METALICAL 49¢, CLEAN SURFACE, PEEL OFF, STICK ON
• or card: Malcom's SELF STICK PROFESSIONAL EMBLEMS 49¢, over a list of other designs that begins with Masonic

Each size is its own printing. On the 3" decals the foil is a bright gold and the letters are bold. On the 3 1/4" decals the foil is paler, the letters are thinner and drawn by hand, and the sphinx has more detail. The cards changed too. Some are METALICAL cards with a blue, orange or red band, and some are Malcom's cards with a black band, so the card you get can vary.

🌹 Founded in Seattle

Seattle is where it all began, in 1913. The founder was Mabel Krows, Mrs. Walter M. Krows, and her fellow founders included Lillian Misho and Levelia K. West. Mrs. Krows also founded the order's first temple and named it Hatasu, an older English name for Hatshepsut, the woman who ruled Egypt as pharaoh.

The Crescent, the Shrine's magazine, wrote up Hatasu Temple No. 1's first meeting in May 1914. Over seventy women were initiated that Thursday afternoon, April 2, in Seattle's Scottish Rite Temple. The magazine described a brand-new order made up entirely of Shriners' ladies, formed to lift the standard of citizenship among women, and working from a ritual of local origin by Noble Charles F. Whaley. The queen-elect, Mrs. Minnie M. Jeffery, couldn't be there, so Mrs. John Rex Thompson was installed as honorary queen. New members came in from Tacoma, Snohomish and New Westminster, British Columbia, and close to a hundred names were already on the charter. They closed the afternoon with a eulogy of Edgar Allan Poe and a dramatic reading of "The Raven."

🏥 For the Shriners Hospitals

Their cause has always been the Shriners Hospitals for Children. The Shriners approved the hospital plan at their Imperial Session in Portland, Oregon in 1920, and their first hospital took in patients in Shreveport, Louisiana, starting September 16, 1922. The Daughters pitched right in. In January 1934 the Victoria Daily Times reported they had made and handed over 50,000 articles in the previous year to fifteen hospitals for crippled children. They have put more than $75 million toward Shriners Children's since 1924, and the hospitals still care for kids up to age 18.

From 22 original members the order grew to about 39,000 in the United States and Canada by the time New York's State Senate honored it in January 2014. A 2025 New York Assembly resolution gave the count as more than 15,000, spread over 120-plus cities in four countries, the United States, Canada, Brazil and Bolivia. Membership is open to women 18 and older with a Shriner, a Master Mason or a Daughter of the Nile in the family.

🏷️ Metalical and Malcom's

The cards say METALICAL and Malcom's Self Stick Professional Emblems, both priced at 49 cents, and the Malcom's card prints a partial list of the other designs it sold, Masonic first. A member could put one on her car window and let everybody know where her heart was.
