Warning on Sale of Cemetery Memorabilia
The words on this insignia were and are difficult to read even from the original  marker itself. This was found near Elmira NY in a Memorial Park that has plaques instead of tombstones. Individual sectons include GadFitters, SteamFitters, and two nearly illegible.The top one may be Plumbers. One of the parts of the motto that is legible is Fidelity. This is not an old insignia, but the design has not translated well tothe material from which it was made. The  site of this organization uses a newer logo, but the old one appears briefly as the page is being loaded. A history can be found at http://www.ua.org/history.htm.
