The two words in an arc across the top were the troublesome part, but I got just enough to figure it out. The shield in the middle has the initials and being able to see "P__tern" in the first word led me to figuring out the whole thing:


Pattern Makers
League of
North America
Founded [shield] 1887
Los Angeles
Association

The Pattern Makers’ National League of North America was established in 1887, and changed its name changed to Pattern Makers’ League of North America in 1898. On October 1, 1991, it merged into the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Founded to promote interest in protecting the high standards of their workers’ craft, the Pattern Makers’ League was composed of associations of practical pattern makers, mold makers, model makers, fixture builders, allied craftsmen, and eventually plastic workers.
