Pretty stoked to be able to get out today. Found this souvenir pin in a very trashy house site. The carnival only ran for 2 years! Hopefully you all have been diggin too! HH
Congrats on the nice find. These souvenir badges were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Yours is especially cool because it is dated, and has a place name and best of all it has that clown on it!
Here is mine. It's from the Fireman's Celebration, a fund raiser held every year in Mooresville, NC... around 1900.
