Probably an easy one

[Older The Better]

I have a picture of a some number of greats grandpa holding an axe dressed in a woodsman of the world uniform today my mom brought me this pin and said they go together. I’m a bit confused it looks military but wow I understand is a fraternal type organization that has some connection to insurance? Anyway this is probably an easy one but what’s the story on this pin.

Another thing I like about Tnet is I learn something everyday. Thanks for sharing the photos and thanks for sharing the info. Most of all thank you CaptEsteban for your service.

My Granddad was in that organization but I never knew they had a uniform, please show us that one.

maybe a little better, waited too long and it got dark, those double loop frames are such a pain to hang I’m not taking them down haha. The last one is just a guy that makes me laugh looks like a real character

Cool old pictures.

This is a picture of me & " Reynolds Wrap " in 1969 . No horses to ride at that time. It was Armored Cavalry.

Nice I’m sure he would have traded his horse to have that to protect him from the Indians or Spanish... I’ve yet to verify when he would have been in the Calvary but I’m sure it was sometime in the late 1800’s
