Description

A pin for La Fiesta de Los Angeles, May 1907. The item has the event name and dates of May 5-11, as well as a design featuring oranges and the symbol of the Shriners with a sword, crescent, and star. There was a national Shriners' convention held in Los Angeles in conjunction with the annual fiesta. A simple steel stick projects slightly outside of the diameter of the pin. With rust on the inside of the obverse, but little notable damage otherwise, the condition is good.
