This ribbon belonged to a member of the arrangement committee for Ramsey, New Jersey’s Firemen’s Day in 1905. The ribbon has an upper pin behind a metal plaque holding a paper insert that reads “Arrangement Committee.” Hanging from the plaque is a ribbon in the style of an American flag with a circular pin bearing the image of a fireman wearing a fire helmet. A red ribbon also hangs from the plaque, bearing the text “FIREMEN’S/DAY/RAMSEY/FIRE DEPT/1905” in gold text.
