This little pin came in a group that I recently purchased. After doing a little research, found out that this was for the American Order of Gleaners. I am curious as to what the markings on the back are-any ideas?
Very interesting pin MrsT! I think the A.O.O.G. was a benevolent fraternal organization involved with agriculture & feeding the hungry and this was their emblem, it's quite pretty
Ancient Order of Gleaners
The Gleaners was founded in 1894 in Cairo, Michigan,
