I've never seen a piece like this before, Ron. It doesn't appear to have any sign of a pin plate on the reverse, so I can't imagine what it's use would have been...? The piece presents the Luitpold Arena as it looked for the RPT in 1934 and thereafter, but like many of the souvenirs sold at the annual RPTs, no reference to a particular year is included, and that made those souvenirs sell-able year after year.

An interesting piece, no doubt! I look forward to reading what other colleagues here know about it.

Hi Ron:

It could be a souvenir badge for a walking stick.

Best,

Or it was a small mirror.

My thought as well. These existed for other years too.

That would be a pretty tiny mirror. I don't think the walking stick proposal is valid as those badges usually have a hole on either side of the badge and are somewhat curved to affix to a walking stick.
