The only thing I've found that it could be associated with is the boilermakers convention in 1912. Ive got several people trying to find out about it.  I'll let you know if I find out what it is

Will do. 

Thank you.. I would have never thought of that.. looking now for info..

I'm definitely closer to Bham.. so I'll try to make it by there.  I've also looked in the archives online, but nothing regarding ABA.

Thanks for the info

Magnet don't stick.  I'm still waiting on a reply from the history's societies.. I've heard of the military challenge coins and I do think its some kind of comemorative coin whether as group or individual is the question.. i wish I could get a really good picture of it so you can see that it almost looks like copper under the patina .

It's heavy for sure.  I can't tell if it is silver looking or more copper. I've emailed the historical societies and I am still awaiting on a reply. I've read all 1912 history for every Birmingham everywhere..still no luck..  I'll let everyone know what it is, if and when,  I find out.. thank you 

It has same thing on both sides.. Well since my grandfather worked in the industry I assumed it would be something a blacksmith forum would know, and it never hurts to get others opinions I've talked with several " coin collectors " that have no idea what it could be and refer me back to blacksmiths...   Thanks for the info.

Yes and received no reply from either.  I'm still digging though.. 

My family is from Birmingham ,Alabama. I've searched for 3 years on what it may be. Thanks for all the info..

Exact same on both sides Welcome ABA 1912 with Birmingham on the bottom. I've looked through every book I could find.  Posted in all blacksmith sites. Just trying to find out what it is.  

Can anyone tell me what this is. It was left to me by my grandfather.  Any help would be appreciated
