"For those who don't know about the Foresters, they were the drill team members of the fraternal order "Modern Woodmen of America." They marched in parades all over America from 1890 into the early 1930s. Since they were Woodsmen, they used axes in their drill routines instead of batons, rifles or flags. Their popularity skyrocketed after the Saint Louis World's Fair of 1904, but many skilled drill teams were broken up by the Great War, and the new teams developed after the war finally disbanded during the Great Depression. The organization Modern Woodmen of America was started on January 3, 1883"

Notes: very good, lovely well kept item, ready to use or display
