Early Woodmen Of The World Pin With Ornate Border.

Description

I have for sale an early Woodmen Of The World pin. Woodmen Of The World was founded in 1890 in Omaha, Nebraska by Joseph C. Root as a fraternal Society.  The pin is 1 1/2 inch in diameter.  The ornate rim looks to be copper and was gilted when new, with some gilt still showing.  The celluloid face has several cracks but is complete.  The center is colorful and shows a bird over a tree stump, with a maul and ax leaning against the stump.  On a ribbon below the stump it reads DUM TACET CLAMAT (though silent, he speaks).
