These are two items that appear to be a wooden nameplate/sign for a regular member of the Nippon Kaiin Ekisai Kai (Japan Seamen's Aid Association) (Photos 2-6) and a metal membership badge (Photos 7-11). The Nippon Kaiin Ekisai Kai is a public interest incorporated foundation established in 1880 by Maejima Hisoka, with the aim of promoting the welfare of seamen and their families. The use of old kanji characters suggests that these items are pre-war, but the exact date is unknown. Size: Nameplate/Sign: Approximately 16.3 x 5.3 cm Original box for membership badge: Approximately 7 x 4.8 cm Please note that the color of the actual product may appear slightly different from the photos due to screen lighting and color rendering environments.
