1918 Atlantic City Medal

[Subterranean]

Hi Tnetters, I found this today in an old yard in a nearby city. (House was built in 1895 and long ago demolished.) It is brass or copper with enameling. It reads "Atlantic City, 1918." It has an eagle with war drums near its wingtips, and crossed flags, Old Glory and possibly the Union Jack (?) with its red crossed bars on a field of blue. Reverse has remnants of a pin and catch but no hallmark. I would appreciate any help with an ID on this one. Is it military G.A.R., Span Am, or WW1? Or just a souvenir? Thanks and Happy Hunting to all! Sub

Got me stumped, not finding an example under GAR badges, GAR Delegates badges, GAR Veterans badges. GAR Encampment badges, GAR Reunion badges etc. Which doesn't mean anything other than I must not have searched hard enough.

Could be a lodge, like Sons of America.
