🔎 UNIDENTIFIED PAP Loom 909 Bolo Tie w/ Hidden Coin? in Reverse & No Markings Found(yet)

[Trash404]

Hello again, fellow treasure hunters! Sticking to my Fraternal collection, I purchased this bolo tie via an online auction. 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.

Thank y'all!!

Can you test the token with a magnet?

Can you test the token with a magnet?

I tried that, 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).

Suggestion: Contact Lodge #909 (in Evans, Colorado) by Email and ask them if they can ID the 'coin'. (greeleymoose@gmail.com).
Send then a pic of your find.
