DescriptionThis ribbon is made of both gold metal and white fabric. At the top of the pin is a gold rectanglular peice of metal. This piece of metal creates a border around a white piece of paper with black writing on it. The writing reads "CHIEF W. A. WESTERFIELD / ALBUQUERQUE, N.M." Attached to this top is a piece of white fabric in the shape of a verticle rectangle with gold lettering printed on. The lettering reads "26TH ANNUAL / CONVENTION / NEW MEXICO / FIREMEN'S / ASSOCIATION." Below this is the date of the event in "JUNE 23-24-25, 1952" and the location in "CLAYTON, NEW MEXICO." The end of the ribbon narows and attaches to a metal circle at the bottom of the pin. The circle is white and has a colorful image printed on it. The image shows a red firemans helmet in front of a gold bugle, black ladder, and red hook and axe. These symbols are all crossing each other at the middle.On View
