DescriptionThis ribbon is made of plastic and ribbon fabric. At the top of the pin is a white plastic circle with a colored image printed on it. The image is of a red fireman's helmet with a ladder, hook, and bugle crossed over each other at the middle in blue behind it. Attached to the pin are three ribbons. Each ribbon is attached at a slight angle so that all three are visbile with only a small overlap. The ribbons are, in order from left ot right, red, white, and blue with gold lettering on each one. The words are written horisontally on each ribbon so that one has to turn their head to read it. The leftmost ribbon gives information about the "11TH ANNUAL FIREMEN'S COLLEGE" on behalf of the "N. MEX. FIREMEN'S ASSO." The white ribbon in the middle states that the pin is for a "LADY GUEST" and the rightmost blue ribbon announces the location of the event in "HOBBS, NEW MEXICO." Each ribbon is cut at an angle at the very bottom edge.On View
