Description
For bid is an original May 6, 1939 rodeo / round-up name identification badge from the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island between San Francisco and Oakland on the SF Bay! This is an orange-colored pass with a sombrero at the center. It was owned by a woman named Nila P? (I can't make out the last name). Bottom of the sombrero says "See Our Exposition Round-Up." It was a sort of rodeo held over several days at the World's Fair. This was a badge for one of those days. It may have been sponsored by Levi Straus denim jeans company.Top of hat says "Hi Pard. I'm ___" with owner's name. She was from Los Gatos in Santa Clara County, California. Back has the following printed on it: "This is your Identification Badge detach, String and Wer during the day." I suppose Nila was a performer that day... The famous rodeo cowboy "Montie Montana" performed at this "Round-Up" in May 1939.
Small orange pass with blue string.
