Compass Brothers
Compass Brothers
Between the years 1400 and 1790, a guild of this name met twice a year at Lübeck. Their badge was a compass and sector suspended from a crowned letter "C," over which was a radiated triangular plate. In 1485 they adopted chains composed of these emblems united by eagles' tails. They appear to have been a magical or Kabalistic society.
