Artifact Overview

Cyclists could receive many types of prizes -- money, trophies, or medals -- for their efforts in a race. A badge like this one may have been given to the victor, runner-up, or perhaps just a participant of a race. Except for the inscription, "Cafe Owners Derby 1949," little else is known about this badge.
