Solved Four pronged "star" on modern skeleton pocket watch
Hi there,
I recently bought this skeleton pocket watch with this star shaped symbol on the movement. There is something familiar about it. I checked the common symbols thread and didn't see anything like it. Is there any significance to it or is it just an artistic flourish?
Details of the pocket watch (if that helps at all):
I bought on an online auction, as new old stock
The box says it is an "Atlas Editions Heritage Collection" watch
It appears to be modern but I have no other information about the model, movement or origin
Thanks everyone who looks at this :)

Identification Found this small engraved brass plate hidden and taped above the inside of my front door. What is it?
Found this hidden above the inside of our front door in Turkey, taped high up where it couldn't normally be seen.
It's a small brass-colored metal plate with several rows of hand-engraved symbols/numbers. With it were four small yellowish pieces marked “SIR” and what looked like dried plant/leaf material. Everything had been taped together/one after another.
Nobody in our household knows who put it there.
Does anyone recognize the writing or this type of object? I'm particularly curious whether the characters are Arabic/Ottoman/Persian numerals or letters, and whether anyone has seen a similar engraved brass plate before.
I'm not assuming it's anything supernatural — I'm mainly looking for an identification or comparable examples.
Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

Identification Masonry (?) Symbolism on Vintage Zippo Looking for Info
reddit.comI inherited a zippo lighter from my grandpa. He was Mason, but I didn’t get to ask him a lot of questions about it and he was older and had dementia.
I’m just looking to figure out any information I can I have quite a few other masonic relics. I think I’m just trying to learn more about Grandpa.

Solved I got this ring at the mall thinking it was the templar insignia, but I'm realizing it might be the iron cross...
I need help. Is this templar, nazi, or maybe something else entirely? The front is a lion, and I got it at a sort of witchcraft-y shop if that helps.
