Congrats OTB, cool find!

My Grandfather belonged to a comparable organization, here in Virginia, known as the "Modern Woodmen". They were a fraternal organization of carpenters, cabinet makers, sawyers and perhaps loggers as well. They had regular local meetings and conventions to basically celebrate the craftsmanship of all things wood! I don't know this for sure but they probably offered insurance and other benefits to craftsmen who worked independently of the unions.

Best wishes and good luck!

thanks for the info, it looks like some had two pieces maybe the date on mine is on another piece.

I can easily see that OTB! You went to your first convention and got your medal and a pendant for that year. Every year there after you got another year's pendant. Pretty soon you'd look like a Banana Republic general, LOL!
