The auction did not have a photo of the back of this item, so it was a surprise to see what appears to be a coin on the reverse side. The coin/token has a woman's bust facing left & 13 equally spread around stars. I do not see a year or any words due to the glue, but maybe someone here will have an idea just by looking at it? Also if anyone can see a makers mark in general, please let me know... I can't find a legible one just yet. Additional note: I put it against a magnet, but the two metal bolo tie / string holders mounted on the back are definitely magnetic... meaning even holding the magnet to the front, those loops are still detected, but not as much as when I move the magnet down the front of the emblem. The rest of the piece is non-magnetic (except the two gold tie ends, those also are magnetic). Any help &/or guidance is truly appreciated, thank yall! Report this Post to the Staff

That might help. Thx!

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 8:05 pm Ok that helps. Looks like this side is for the Loyal Order of Moose and hopefully someone at lodge 909 (Evans Colorado) can enlighten you about these medallions (assuming that these are two sides of the same piece rather than two separate pieces). You can easily find their phone number on line. I'd love it if you follow up here after speaking with them. Thx!
