Label TextThis pin is from the 1905 London Old Boys reunion and the 50th anniversary of London. It features two symbolic animals: the Canadian beaver and the British lion. During the early 19th century, Canadians preferred the maple leaf to the beaver as a symbol of Canada. But once the beaver appeared on Canada’s first stamp in 1851, its popularity grew.
