I think it is from the International Order of Odd Fellows. That same company made their ceremonial swords. steve

Yeah, that's what it is, my grandpa was one of them, and that's about all I know about what they do, except he's buried in an IOOF Cemetary.

Thanks guys! I had no clue what it was. I knew it was not military, but thats all I knew,

It's Independent Order, not International.

Is there a place called Glendale near you? I find a references to the IOOF Wolverine Lodge No. 408 in 1903 but they seem to have changed the name to Glendale Lodge by 1912.

Thanks everyone! DC Matt, Yeah Glendale is not that far from here. Wow, 1903? I would have never guess for this to be in that age group! That is awesome! Thanks for the age verification on this.
