Some sort of medal?

[ALAMOTX]

I found this item near an old barn.

It has a MW symbol in the middle of it and on the back it says Bastian Bros Co Rochester NY


Thanks

It lookslike an old pinback or medallion. The key would be finding out what the logo stands for.

Logo from a Montgomery Ward appliance? Washer, stove etc.? Late 1930's to early '50's?
