1930s 1940 Vintage Yosemite Winter Club Ski Member Skiing Snow Brooch Pin

1930s 1940 Vintage Yosemite Winter Club Ski Member Skiing Snow Brooch Pin.
This Yosemite Winter Club pin measures approx 2 1/2″ long and is brushed silvertone metal in the shape of a ski. Some areas between the lettering appear somewhat brassy in color, which suggest either that the silver-color plating is rubbed through to reveal the base metal OR that the pin was originally gold plated and the gold plating has rubbed through. Please refer to photos. Originally given to members at Badger Pass ski area in Yosemite National Park.
