Sterling Watch Fob/Medal w/Blue Ribbon: circa WWI, showing soldiers with horses in a railroad car. Marked Union Made-I.J.W.U. Sterling. Related to the Legions 40 and 8.

International Jewelry Workers' Union. This is for a American Legion Veteran who was a member of the Forty and Eight Society. Its official name was "La Société des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux," which is French, and literally translates as "The Society of Forty Men and Eight Horses.".
