Description

Five commemorative pins, celebrating the centennial of Los Gatos. Each pin is identical, and features two bobcats back-to-back in the center, on a white field. Around them is a thin, dark blue circle, and around that is a white circle with an inscription, in gold. Around that, the pin is dark blue, with gold circles inside of a gold line. The edges of the pins are wavy, and the pin backs feature a gold "locking pin" back. Each pin is in its own little plastic bag, which are all stapled together at the top.
