Today I found a Women of Woodcraft token.
From what I've read, well, let me copy and paste...
"Women of Woodcraft was a female auxiliary to Woodmen of the World (WOW), which was
founded in 1897 by Joseph Cullen Root. Women of Woodcraft covered the nine states of the
Woodmen’s Pacific Jurisdiction: California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. In 1917 Women of Woodcraft changed their name to Neighbors of
Woodcraft (NOW). In 2001 NOW returned to its roots and merged with WOW."
They were into erecting tombstones, commonly with tree/stump-like motifs, incorporated
into the monument somehow.
Here is my token - it is bronze, 1.5" dia. and smooth edge.
(anyone read Latin at the bottom of the token?)
here is the logo/emblem/shield of the organization in newer times, as seen on a tombstone that
was erected in 1916, so my token must be an older version of the organization emblem, since they changed their name
in 1917.
