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.)
