Very nice finds - I've seen the bear and post motif before - military? To be honest many of the images suggest a military slant to the overall group.

Nice selection Adam. The only help I can offer is that I believe the bear and ragged staff is the county motif for Warwickshire, might just point you in the right direction :))

This one says Band of hope, which i believe is an organisation set up in 1847, for children who on membership would abstain from alcohol.
