I'm not sure what the convention was-- possibly for all businesses in Grand Rapids, a near city-- but this was a pin back from the convention and was worn by someone named Annett Veenstya or Veenstra.
Leonard Refrigerator was a large Grand Rapids, Michigan-based company founded in the 1880s. In 1926, it combined with Kelvinator, which is named on the back of this 1937 medal-pinback thing.
The people on it are great, but so is the name 'Leonard Refrigerator. The piece is in pretty much mint condition with the medal shining brightly like an uncirculated coin. Perfect for being about 80 years old.
