Pin advertising "the Annual Orphan's Outing, Courtesy Automobile Club of Rochester, June 1932." According to the Library of Congress (loc.gov), car parades, either for orphans to watch or to participate in, took place in the early 1900's. It seems plausible that this pin refers to such an event in Rochester, although no documentation was found for this particular event. Car models that are no longer being produced are also known as "orphans," which may be the subject of this pin., 1932
