    If my research is correct, 1910 was the first year for these badges and it was given only to the Mayor of Chicago, show officials, dignitaries and members of the press. This pin features Mercury (aka Hermes) the mythical god of trade, profit and commerce behind a steering wheel and wearing his winged hat. The pin was made by Bastian Bros. Rochester. There is also a number on the back "2684".
