Red ribbon with "Bulkley Valley / Fall Fair / Smithers, BC / Second Prize / 19?3" stamped in black. "1933" has also been handwritten in ink on the top. The dates are difficult to read in both cases as it appears as though black ink has been added over top and has run on the silk.

History Of Use
Possibly won for the category of "Sheaf Sweet Clover" or "Pickling cucumbers, pint" as an F.A. Gilbert placed second for these categories in 1923. No fall fair was held in 1933, so the date that was associated with this ribbon by the former owner seems incorrect. Likely it was also from 1923.
Large circular metal sign. The backside is bare metal. Front side is yellow with MASSEY HARRIS printed in bold black letters around the top and bottom. Between the words there is an logo that outlines the yellow letters in red.

In 1891, Massey Manufacturing merged with A. Harris, Son & Co. Ltd to become Massey-Harris Limited and became the largest agricultural equipment maker in the British Empire. Massey-Harris made threshing machines and reapers as well as safety bicycles, tractors, etc. (Source: Wikipedia, accessed 2017-11-02).
In 1953, Massey-Harris merged with the Ferguson Company to become Massey-Harris-Ferguson.
