Any information?

I recovered these items a while back detecting an area that had been used by the Confederates and Union troops during the Civil war. The small badge has U.L.M.B.A above the two clasped hands. The other is a hollow tube with wire twisted around it. The coin is for comparison.

We' ve seen it before, but I don't think it was ID-ed then either; perhaps today's the day !!

I was hoping it could finally be identified.

Have you researched the Masonic possibility?
If Masonic, it appears to be the handshake (grip) of a most excellent Masonic master.

I have a book that was my grandfathers,the only date I see is 1901 as you can see in the pic.
The date is when it was entered into the library of congress, so the book must be older
The strange thing is that he drew a picture in the back,in pencil,with the two shaking hands.
I always wondered what it meant. Maybe somthing to do with prohibitions,
meaning moral or religious prohibitions.
Dont know if there is a connection to the item found or not.

I have researched it. And can't come up with anything. I was thinking something like. United lumber mill business Agent. But that led know where.

Your first item IMO...

Is a piece considered a "handshake" piece... at one time in America this "logo" appeared on MANY items that signified good business.

Now... having said this I have no way to prove or even disprove this theory and perhaps a positive I.D. will see if I am correct.

As far as the second item... tourist / head shop opium pipe style pipe stem perhaps.

It does resemble the Masonic Pass Grip. Maybe something to do with Lodge 192?

Looks to me like a membership token in a trade union.

Shaking hands are common symbolbs in trade unionsism and the abbreviation starts with an "U". Could be Union of .....

I see no OP comments yet and no solve...

Shiloh... are you sure about the last three letters ? I cannot make them out due to crud.
Try a quick gentle rub to make sure of these...
unless that is... you are positive on them.

This could stand for anything...

Notice the "frills" on the wrists of the hands...

IMO... this could be something to do with women.

Something or anything like "United Ladies Marching Band Association"... type of dealio / scenario... but ? ? ?

interesting that both are stamped "192". I assumed that was a serial number and would be unique.

Union Labor Movement Buy American #192 Just a thought.
