The pictures below show larger front and back views of this Old Saint Pascal Canadian Exposition Advertising Souvenir Pin Back Button With Ribbon. The souvenir pin is not dated but it is old. We believe that the Exposition began in 1917. The celluloid pinback button pictures a Farmer with a hat, in a field with a wooden rake. The attached ribbon is marked as follows: SOUVENIR EXPOSITION SAINT PASCAL The paper insert in the back reads as follows: LA COMPAGNIE DES INSIGNES INSIGNES METALLIQUES & SOIES CASIER POSTAL 456 - MONTREAL The pin back button with the ribbon measures about 3-1/8'' long. It appears to be in excellent condition with some light wear to the ribbon as pictured.
