Hi valentino97,
What you have is a Campfire Girl's 'firemaker's bracelet'. Girls would receive this bracelet when they were able to make a fire using no modern tools. It was designed c 1915 in the arts & crafts style, and the letters around spell WO-HE-LO representing work, health & love. I have a collection of these- they are all nearly identical (there are older ones with a great deal of wear and newer ones that look as if they were just made) and all bear the same mark. The maker is not known to me.
Enjoy your find!
