Silver and Enamel medal

An unusual medal from 1933.

This is a silver and enamel Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) "Initiation Jewel."
​While it bears the name "Grand Lodge of England," it is important to note that this is a fraternal society medal, not a Freemasonry medal (though they share similar naming conventions like "Lodges" and "Brothers").
