I believe it belongs to the Knights of Pythias. Here's a link:Knights of Pythias
Under Lodge websites, the one for Illinois is in Peoria.

Nice find!
"The Knights of Pythias were not nearly as affluent as the Masons and Odd Fellows and this is reflected in their subordinate lodge jewelry, most of which, (with the sometimes exception of Chancellor Commander jewels) is gold and silver plated brass. More affluent lodges and members could acquire silver jewels, sometimes in Sterling but more often in coin (.900 fine) silver." "Grand lodge jewels...were sometimes 10K but just as often gold plated coin silver."
