Worn by local reps at the 1910 Elks Grand Lodge National Convention


Detroit - July 1910

Images on the medal seem to reflect the Calumet steel district which was a large steel producing region in 1910 - something for the region to be very proud of at the time.

According to the link below, in 1911 the Calumet Region had 375 members. Tough to tell how many of them attended the national convention, but I'm sure the number of these pins would be pretty limited, making it hard to find a match.
