Official Fez
Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan
Tehamah 150

The DOKK is apparently an auxiliary of the Knights of Pythias. This fez apparently came from Tehama County, in northern California.

The Virtual Museum of Fezology states, "Interestingly, the DOKK is probably one of the most helpful of organizations to collectors, as each “official fez” bears the signature of the Imperial Secretary at the time of its creation."  This particular fez (which includes the little bag it is stored in) has the signature of A.L. Frey, Imperial Secretary.

If I am not mistaken, this fez could be anywhere from 84 to 98 years old! Sure doesn't look it.
