Please help ID this lapel badge………

Hi,

I’m trying to help someone on another forum with his question about this lapel badge……….

After a few replies there’s still no solid answer. (It’s not B-58, not SST, maybe M.E. origin, maybe made in the US for some OS company (has 10K GOLD FILLED on the back)…….

The key, it seems may be the logo……….. AEL, ALE?

cheers,

-John
