I found out last night from another source what this thing is mostly. The BPOE is the initials for the Elks club. The "New American" is a 21 story building in Philly built about 1900. and the Elks had a big convention in Philly in 1907. So it must be some type of souvenir from that conv. I even found a site selling one for about $10. So I think I have this one solved.
