Nine years later the first American YMCA was set up at the old South Church in Boston, Massachusetts by a former sea captain. The pin is an open red triangle with a blue bar reading Y.M.C.A. in white lettering.

VINTAGE: Circa World War I.

SIZE: Approximately 7/8" in height and 15/16" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Plated brass with enamel.
