Large A. O. U. W. Medallion

Jewelry : Vintage : Fraternal

 

This is a large 2 inches in diameter pendant. The metal may be silver or silver plated. I looked it up and found the following information "The American fraternal benefit network began with the organization the Ancient Order of United Workmen in Meadville, Pennsylvania on October 27, 1868. The AOUW was founded by John Jordan Upchurch, a Mason, with the aim of adjusting "all differences which may arise between employers and employees, and to labor for the development of a plan of action that may be beneficial to both parties, based on the eternal truth that the interests of labor and capitol are equal and should receive equal protection."
