This ribbon from the 1923 California State Fair in Sacramento was a "Second Premium" award from the California State Agricultural Society that passed through many hands (and picked up a few stains and smudges) before finding its way to the Sacramento Room of the Sacramento Public Library. Who won it? What was it for? Did have any long-term effect on the lucky winner's life? The award ribbons for the State Fair were manufactured at the State Printing Office, supervised at that time by Frank J. Smith, Superintendent.
