It's the 43rd annual convention of the grand mystic royal order of the nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine? <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin">
Oops, that was what just went thru my mind. Sorry, that was an old Ray Stevens tune. Hilarious if you haven't heard it. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
I have absolutely no idea other than some firefighters convention around the early to mid 1900s based on the truck? <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?">

From the link below:
>>>Motorized Fire Engines
The transition from steam to gasoline powered fire apparatus began with steam engines being pulled by motorized tractors. By 1910 motorized fire engines were being produced by all the major manufacturers. Fire trucks evolved and improved along with other gasoline vehicles. They needed to be both massive and fast. Many mechanical innovations were developed first on fire engines and then later used on commercial trucks.
The early motorized engines were decorated beautifully. The large sheet metal surfaces gave the painters plenty of room to show off their skills. The major manufacturers each had their own distinct styles of ornamentation. As the years passed, the scrollwork and pinstripes became simpler.<<<
Here's your truck, American LaFrance c1935

And lookie, here's another one of your fobs. Betcha there's a few collectors that would be interested in that one. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
