Pin advertising the "Annual Orphan's Outing, Courtesy Automobile Club of Rochester, June 1932." According to the Library of Congress (loc.gov), photos of car parades, either for orphans to watch, or perhaps to participate in, took place in the early 100's. It is plausible that this pin refers to such an event in Rochester. However car models that are no longer being produced are also known as orphans., 1932
