Description
A commemorative ribbon for the "Semi-Centennial Celebration of the American Occupation of California," Gunzendorfer and Boughton, Monterey, California, 1896. The item has the title, the dates "1846" and "1896", the name of the city of production and dates of 4-7 July, and a color image of a grizzly bear and the Mexican and American flags. At the top and bottom thin chains are tied which are attached to pieces of shells. Item b) is the bottom shell which is completely seperate from the rest of the ribbon which is item a). The ribbon is very fragile and a separate piece was included with areas of fraying and wear, so the condition is poor.
