Any of you trapshooting memorabilia collectors have any GAH Attendance Pins from the 1930s and 40s? Could you share some pictures?

My first Grand American was in 1973, just missed those "Ribbon + medallion" attendance momentoes. I must have a "Grand" pin from 1973 somewhere....

Thirty-two in Vandalia and 18 in Sparta. If I tie the mark of Vandalia, the Lord will have blessed me!
