A fraternal pin from M.P.T.O., Los Angeles, 1926. The two-part item has a larger section at the top with a grizzly bear at the top, California poppies below the bear and the wording "1926 / M.P.T.O. OF SO. CAL." Two small links of chain attach a rectangular shield to the above and "LOS ANGELES" is on this shield. On the back of the larger piece is a pin welded to the body. With heavy soiling, discoloration, and tarnish, but no defects to the structure, the overall condition of the piece is good.
