I found this brass medal about 10 inches deep in a old trash pile. It has 13 stars at the top and 13 stripes with an axe and mall crossed with a wedge in the middle with the letters W and C on either side. On the back side it has "Greenduck Co. Chicago". I googled the company and found it started up around 1917 and made all sorts of medals and pins but I have not found a picture of this one. If anyone has any ideas please help.
I need help identifing brass medal

Relates to Woodmen of the World. The following is from a description of markers on the graves of WOW folks in cemetaries.
"You will see many stones in the cemeteries in the western states with the words 'Here Rests A Woodmen
of the World' usually also with a logo of either a stump in a circle, or a dove flying over a fallen
log with an axe, a maul, and a wedge incorporated in the dove type logo'. ...
Woodmen Circle, and SFWC usually have a shield design with the initials WC on it and the Wording "Woodmen
Circle" or "Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle" in a circular desigm, and many times the WCF and SFWC stones are
in the shape of a tree stump about 4 feet tall."
