Hello!

I dug this medal thing in Portland Oregon today. Heart shaped planchet ~ reads F. O. E. GRAND AERIE 1908 SEATTLE. It is blank on the back side ~ 1.25 inches tall and 1 inch wide ~ made of brass or copper or bronze?

I assume it is an item from the Eagles Club. But what exactly is it?

The F.O.E. was started in Seattle in 1898. Maybe this had something to do with a 10 year anniversary.

Nation FOE convention? Award for signing up new members? I usta get lapel pins for that. Contact local FOE Lodge,I'm sure they'd love to have it or give you info on it. Nice find. Good luck.

Wow, I actually joined that lodge (aerie) in Seattle in 1961 while in the Navy. The initiation was pretty embarrising. A guy in a
weird uniform behind me kept poking me with between the legs with a sword. I was on an icebreaker out of Seattle for over three
years. Our ship and crew attended the Rose Festival in Portland one year. The ship was the USS STATEN ISLAND.
