This medal belonged to my husband's great-grandfather who emigrated from Italy in 1904. The writing on the white/red side is faded to the point it's pretty much illegible but what I can make out appears to be in a foreign language. The part on the darker (red) side is more visible.
The letters I can make out are:
"FRAT?? LANZA
???L(orR)ESE
Santa
Barbera
>clasped hands logo<
DI
MARCHANDVILLE PA
FONDATA
LL 2 JENAIO 1892"
The dark side is quite legible:
"TIROLISCHE
BRÜDERSCHAFT
SANTA
BARBEA
FON
MARCHANDVILLE PA
>clasped hands logo<
GEGRÜNDET
2 JANUAR 1892"
There is also a lable on the inside that says "Made by the M.C. Lilley Co; Columbus Ohio"
Can anyone help identify what this is?
