O. of I. A.

This emblem includes symbolism similar to the Jr. Order of United American Mechanics.
 The compass and square borrowed from the JOUAM, a 1880's anti immigration organization in
New York state and  from the Masons but the organizations are not Masonically linked.
The shield shape here is like the JOUAM and the presence of the Bible within fits with the symbols used by that
group of aniti-immigration, isolationist organizations. This may even be a splinter group of one of these as 
schisms are common in all the fraternal organizations and secret societies. This was found in western 
New Jersey or eastern Pennsylvania where flagholders of  the related orgainzations, 
most of which are extinct, are common. I would even guess that the A. 
stands for American and the I. might be Independent or something like that.
oia, compass, bisects, draw, art, mason (this is not a MASON's Emblem.)
